Which says something about the state of catechesis in our country, I guess.<br /><br />You're right, this will happen more often: Catholics will quit the Church and send a volley of bitter and spiteful arrows our way, courtesy of an indulgent media.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-41118362611959704632015-05-22T09:43:12.056+01:002015-05-22T09:43:12.056+01:00I am not sure whether the Church in E&W will b...I am not sure whether the Church in E&W will be under attack. <br /><br />I think that the leadership is very happy to bend to every wish of Theresa May and her brownshirts. <br />A number of senior and very senior bishops are fifth columnists who have no place in the Catholic Church. Whether they believe in what they are doing, or whether they are more interested in keeping their privileged position than they are in Church teaching I cannot tell. I suspect there is a mixture of the two. <br /><br />I have long regarded the CofE as being far more concerned with the laws from Westminster than the laws from God. The Catholic Church in E&W is at the top every bit as bad. <br /><br />The people who will be under attack are the 500 good Priests who signed the recent letter. Bishop Egan was slapped down for saying that politicians voting for "gay marriage" and abortion should be excommunicated. <br /><br />Any attacks on good Catholic Priests are likely to be from their Bishops. <br />richardhjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03995396235514536115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-69874192652152866092015-05-20T13:39:10.778+01:002015-05-20T13:39:10.778+01:00I'm not a UK citizen, but the climate is prett...I'm not a UK citizen, but the climate is pretty much the same in the US. I honestly have no problem with the idea of being targeted for crime-think and accordingly punished. That's more or less what I expect from the prince of this world. What I never expected is that the Church, the spotless Bride, should doff her veil and abet the machinations of the enemy. I have a supernatural faith in Our Lord's promise - non praevalebunt - but no natural faith in his current vicar to act in conformity with that promise. It's all rather depressing and gives me a reverse Lord of the Flies feeling, like the possessors of the elevated morality are marooned on a remote island, living in constant fear and expectation that they will soon be found out by their fathers and masters who have long since descended into animal savagery. Abandonment to divine providence is really the only option at this point - perhaps as it should have been all along.E Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098704423101924735noreply@blogger.com
