A Sermon
a difference that is telling. A homily is intended primarily for spiritual edification rather than doctrinal instruction. A sermon is a talk on a religious or moral subject based on a passage from the Bible. You can thank the bishops for this and other changes.
A Father
a family to protect the child. Get rid of Our Father and their father is no longer protected. Get rid of their father and the family is no longer protected. Get rid of the family and the child is no longer protected. All of a sudden abortion doesn’t seem so bad. Who would want to bring a child into this kind of environment? Get rid of the child. Worry about climate change. Where are your priorities?
A Necessary Ingredient
a test of your faith. You are being tested. You are what you do. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Your actions confirm your beliefs. Pray? Pray for what? For guidance. The Lord is my shepherd, He will guide me.
A Test
to see what you will do. Jesus tested Peter three times. Do you love Me? The test of Peter’s love was to feed His sheep. Will you just stay and pray? There must be more that you could do. Stay, pray, and fight for the Church to prove your love for it.
A Victims Fund
for silence. Silence allows the abuse to continue. Protects the good that they do. The cost of doing business. Clerics must be protected lest they lose respect. Without this respect, the good will suffer. Silence is golden. Here comes the apostasy. Come Lord Jesus.
A Fund Raiser
like Marcial Marcel. See a Scandal at the Vatican. Also like Bernardin and McCarrick. The great fund raisers of the Church. That was not all they had in common. They weren’t just clerics. Money makes the world go round. It also goes to Rome. Follow it.
A Problem
a deflection or a diversion. How can you blame a cleric who is just doing his job? The Kindle allows you to search words. You can find some form of cleric eight times in a “Letter to a Suffering Church”: Clerical (5) Clerics (2) Clericalism (1) There are other interesting words: Sodomy (4) Homosexual (1) Just another cover up. (0)
A Suffering Church
needs you to stay and fight. That was mentioned seven times in the letter. Maybe it should have been the title. She is your Church and you must fight for her. Infiltrated and corrupted from within. Stay and pray is not enough. Silence is not an option. Speak out. Loudly.
A Suffering Church
mentions clericalism. In short the priests can’t be any better than the laity. Really? We can’t find men who are holier than the laity? The letter also mentions homosexual. In short a disorder. Not a good place to start when looking for those who are holier. The last three popes have directed that they should not be ordained. The bishops continue to ignore these directives. They are also ignoring the teachings of the Church.
A Rider Of The Pale Horse
might be with us now. Is there a pale sea? Should we worry about climate change?. Some have suggested corruption within the Church will cause world wide deaths. Don’t leave the Church. Stay and fight for it. The bishops may notice that. Money may be the only thing that gets their attention.
