Scary stuff, indeed. These were chilling words: "One bishop said that if FOCA passes Congress, one-third of the nation's hospitals (which are Catholic) might have to close if the law mandates that all hospitals must perform abortions." Pray, pray, pray! And vote for Life and Morality every chance we get. Thanks for this information, sorry as I am to read it...
As do I Nancy, Christ said so and Our Lord keeps his promises.
I do believe that the heresies must stop and to become purer we will become smaller as our Holy Father Pope Benedict predicted when he was Cardinal Ratzinger.
I, too, am saddened by Catholic votes for Obama. I am proud to have been confirmed many years ago by our Bishop Bruskewitz, who is famous for remaining conservative. He is, shall we say, running a tight ship here in the Lincoln diocese.
I've been thinking about this post all day. It (along with another letter I recently read) reminded me of the following quote from St. Pius XI:
"I thank God everyday that He permits me to live in the present time. One should be proud to be a witness of this mighty drama, and in a certain sense, even to take part in it. Good and evil are engaged in a tremendous battle. At the present time, no one has the right to be mediocre."
It is sure hard to "thank God" to be living in these times, but at the same time what a great opportunity we have to become saints! :)
Wow, what a post. Scary. I, too, am shocked at the Catholics who voted for Obama. I can't help but think while at Mass, which ones truly understand the weight of this. I know it's not many.
WELCOME TO THIS PHOTO - JOURNAL celebrating the traditional, Roman Catholic faith ... in words and images. I believe that Catholicism & The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass are the GOOD, the TRUE and the BEAUTIFUL in this life and what better f o c u s could my camera (and words) share. This blog began in May of 2007, when I started homeschooling my 4. In 2011, it was the reason we traveled to Rome, to participate in the VATICAN BLOGGERS MEETING, where my goal to promote Catholic social media began. Today, 2 of children have graduated and attend Franciscan University in Steubenville. It is so encouraging to have this community, to know you are out there and to share what we learn with each other. May we do so, AMDG, for the glory of God and all for Jesus, Mary & Joseph. Totus Tuus! +JMJ+
I have to agree with you, but I think in the end the Church will be stronger for it.
ReplyDeletePersecution is already alive and thriving around me. Not too many of my extended family are standing on the same fence as I am.
ReplyDeleteInteresting links.
