He gave up that.<br /><br />Too bad for his regrets. His giving up of that position as well as whatever regrets thereafter are entirely on him. Too late for going back, and it's reprehensible that he's speaking out later. Both his giving up of that position and his regrets about having done so ought to be between him and his Maker. What, he's looking for redemption and second chances from humans (whether among the faithful or others)? Sorta shameful, can't you imagine how so?rcommalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301180339680504471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-60925855388263777112017-07-16T22:23:21.270-04:002017-07-16T22:23:21.270-04:00I am with Bill the Butcher on this issue.I am with Bill the Butcher on this issue.The Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354536924604187137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-9460128913123924812017-07-16T19:31:08.175-04:002017-07-16T19:31:08.175-04:00The Church will survive.

...The Church will survive. The Church will endure. <br /><br />We have sincere and holy men like Father Martin Fox and innumerable parish priests who work everyday to help the faithful find the way to live with God.<br /><br />The problem is as it has always been. Leadership. Or the lack of same. <br /><br />President Trump framed it perfectly in his speech in Poland. Does the West have the will to survive. To realize that Christianity and Western Society is the only hope. All societies and all belief systems are not equal. Anyone who preaches that is doing the devils work.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-69881644452355386302017-07-16T18:50:34.743-04:002017-07-16T18:50:34.743-04:00I'm not Catholic, so I won't say much. Re...I'm not Catholic, so I won't say much. Regardless of denomination, the problem of molding our faith to fit our society is especially acute in these times. As Western civilization continues to crumble, Christianity should be a foundation that people can cling to. Instead, it's one of the institutions being battered the most...and unfortunately, many are kowtowing to the forces of fickle human whimsy. And those who are leading the rush away from the orthodox teachings of the past 2,000 years think they are the cutting edge of morality and godliness. Fools. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTVVw-AmUug" rel="nofollow">Cheer Up, Church</a>, you're worse off than you think.windbaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06849477338372901623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-76821652406097081352017-07-16T17:47:55.606-04:002017-07-16T17:47:55.606-04:00Wasn't there some kind of prophecy that Frank ...Wasn't there some kind of prophecy that Frank would be the last Pope?<br /><br />The Church will survive, but we haven't had a good schism in about 1000 years, so maybe we're due.<br /><br />Let the Vatican II and Revolution Theology types go their way and we'll see who survives.edutcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033144261502435196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-33988283696851403552017-07-16T16:47:25.645-04:002017-07-16T16:47:25.645-04:00If there is ONE Cardinal with integrity the Church...If there is ONE Cardinal with integrity the Church can rebuild from there. Turns out to be FOUR Cardinals with integrity. All I can say is there's going to be a knock-down drag-out fight over who will be elected next Pope after the present thug kicks the bucket.....unless the integrity Cardinals are like Republicans. In which case all is lost. ricpichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321511130788764861noreply@blogger.com
