One Response to “Remnant: “The Church has lost Her Soul””
I refuse to criticize Catholics who assert the Bishops are wrong to suspend Mass. I refuse to criticize Bishops who have suspended Mass. Yet, I will testify that before the March 16 statement suspending Mass, I had already contacted a person at St. John’s Greece and a person at St. Alban’s of
the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter informing both that I would refrain from assisting at Mass for the time being.
Am I without supernatural faith; am I fearful of suffering and death; am I influenced adversely by secular globalist hysteria? Have I forgotten Salvation History and the heroic virtue of saints like Charles Borremeo?
No. As the husband of a wife and father of physically challenged adult son, both of whom are at high risk because of chronic illnesses and vulnerable immune systems, I choose to stay home, be with my beloved and pray with and for them; and to remember in prayer you too, the Church, her leaders, the faithful, the faithless; those who believe Jesus is the Christ the Son of the Living God and those who don’t.
Is any criticism called for? Yes, perhaps. Where are those leaders, state and Church, who publicly and unashamedly call on the Name above every other name to forgive, to heal, to restore?
“if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14
