and latest news is Netherlands gave control of Greenland to the US, maybe a backroom deal so that the US would backup Netherlands and EU in a war with Russia..
I think we are reaching the point when ordinary parish priests and good Bishops will stand up and say ,'No', to the evil sodomite false church. There will not be many to grow a spine. But there will be some. The Faithful Remnant.
Keeping abreast of scandal within the Church can be a real downer! At what point does such news prove helpful? I suppose someone in the dark may be motivated to seek out the excellent and encouraging news about the Church which faithful broadcasters provide? Still, more and more I desire to just ignore the discouraging news . I did notice the few times I've watched a Taylor Marshall clip of late it seems he's expanded his repertoire beyond simply "the Latin community" focus. P.S. I 'm not being critical of your above post, Dave F. Prayers for Pope Leo and Catholics in general. May we all keep close to the Two Hearts!
I am with you Terry. We all know things are bad but I guess i am now trying to guard my heart. I try to ignore the next new terrible very bad thing that seems to pop up like weeds every other day. And I try to pray. Just pray.
I totally agree. And I’m greatly thankful that I have great priests and holy Masses. They are truly a Godsend. So much to be thankful for, my heart is full.
The difficulty these days of attending the TLM is that Bishops in various dioceses have come down hard on the Mass of the Ages. This tends to cultivate an understandable reaction of "circling the wagons". And then it repeats itself in another diocese, makes the news on the internet reality... opposing sides are formed and the devil has a hay day. I believe the more proper initial response is a type of grieving which can lead to prayer and fasting. But then the devil sneaks in and fosters more finger-pointing instead. O Lord, how difficult it is to focus more on prayer and fasting, than on slipping into accusation, without taking up spiritual weapons to stand against JoeJerk. Teach us how to better wield the tools of the Spirit amidst today's confusion so that the joy of the Holy Spirit may triumph! Ephesians 6: 12 For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. 15 As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. 16 With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. May we be more proactive than reactive because each of our spheres of influence are closer to home than not.
