We know one very holy young priest who STILL suffers that martyrdom--how he made it through that rats nest of a seminary is really a miracle of Our Lady's protection.<BR/><BR/>It will take the next 40 years to erase the trashing of the last 40, so hunker down, get our your rosary, wear out your knees, preferably in Church where you can be with Him and make a public witness, and if you need to, walk away from the filth when it presents itself. Make sure to use your holy water liberally, and it doesn't hurt to sprinkle a little blessed salt around, either. Make sure you enlist St. Michael and his holy warriors, and find a holy priest to hear your frequent confession.<BR/><BR/>Only holiness can battle evil. Only God can banish the devil.TCNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12084691508359621184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-24030201097652070182009-01-17T10:46:00.000-05:002009-01-17T10:46:00.000-05:00"The report called it “profoundly regrettable” tha..."The report called it “profoundly regrettable” that many seminaries do not include such practices as the Rosary as a normal part of the day to day life of students. 'Some institutes even have an atmosphere that discourages traditional acts of Catholic piety.'" <BR/><BR/>Is it any surpise then that these priests, ordained "in the wake of the Second Vatican Council," have stripped our churches of statues, done away with novenas, processions, the St. Blase blessing, and so many other "Catholic" symbols, have inspired two generations who have grown up without them to be lax in their faith or leave the Church altogether?Former Altar Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751535074291354836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-85476899799764819792009-01-17T02:49:00.000-05:002009-01-17T02:49:00.000-05:00The reason why they're not being fired left and ri...The reason why they're not being fired left and right (as they should be) is usually because the Bishop's on board with the dissent (aka Los Angeles)Joe of St. Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506671882770822003noreply@blogger.com
