Just think what a help this is with the priest shortage. Please write a note to the Bishop. A personal parish means that you can be a member of the parish no matter where you live in the Diocese.Jacobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-50080728648131920902016-01-11T18:18:19.963-05:002016-01-11T18:18:19.963-05:00Too little too late.

Please make this petition well-known amongst all the faithful. As one who has left the Diocese of Savannah and, eventually moved across the country, in order to be able to attend an FSSP parish, I cannot tell you the spiritual benefits that come from attending a traditional parish with traditional priests adhering to the traditional devotions offered by the Church. Since getting to heaven and getting your family to heaven are the purpose of life, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT YOU CAN DO for yourself and for your family. Please take a few minutes to write to your bishop, and pray that he sees fit to bring the traditional Catholic parish life to your diocese.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13510317669833026685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-917990844167477502016-01-11T11:46:57.067-05:002016-01-11T11:46:57.067-05:00I'm a bit worried by all of this.

We are all corrupt, its being a result of man's fallen state. We are also inclined to sin and prone to justifying ourselves.<br /><br />If you are going to waffle on in a language (Spanish and Italian are the only ones this Pope has any fluency in) where words have a different nuance when translated, it helps if your definitions are backed up with concrete examples. But Francis never does this, leaving his listeners to decide whether he is having a go at traditionalists or progressives. Jesuits were once renowned for their intellectual rigour; this one makes a virtue of ambiguity.<br /><br />There are still large parts of Evangelii Gaudium which cry out for some explanation. It's hardly surprising that there is still no definitive Latin text. When this pontificate is over few people are going to bother sifting through the verbiage of interviews, favorini, off-the-cuff remarks to journalists, lengthy treatises on the environment, collected homilies and the rest in the hope of finding anything of substance. In short, Pope Francis is becoming a monumental bore. <br /><br /> John Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027156691859606002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-51586870288488303552016-01-11T11:45:22.565-05:002016-01-11T11:45:22.565-05:00I think Francis has noticed that his popularity is...I think Francis has noticed that his popularity is slipping big time, at least with practicing Catholics, and he's trying to save face <br /><br />My dad used to have a phrase he would use, and I think it describes Francis perfectly: "If you try to be everything to everyone, then you're nobody to no one." <br /><br />There are rumors flying around that Francis plans on announcing his retirement when he gets to Argentina in July. Let us hope so, so that the constant scandal will end.

Since mercy is at the heart of our Catholic faith, this outcome is unfortunate and I would like here to discuss the principles involved in this and other similar situations." If the outcome is unfortunate then why spend the rest of the article defending the outcome, which amounted to your saying, that the outcome was in the end--fortunate? I am thankful Car. Wuhrl acted as he did. But when he and other bishops permit Catholic politicians who support abortion and same sex marriages to receive communion, then they violate all the "principles involved in this and other situations." And this is a very great scandal, and sends a very clear message that the Church doesn't really believe the Eucharist is what She says it is, or that the Church itself is what she claims it is. <br />Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16678140349582809723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-36920985746263987632016-01-11T09:36:59.897-05:002016-01-11T09:36:59.897-05:00Cardinal Wuerl wrote that?

It draws parallels to other groups' rights to show how it's not special pleading just for Catholics.<br /><br />And the way he defines things makes it well nigh impossible to really protest his policy without creating an impossible double standard. Will Planned Parenthood or the DNC hire and keep a moonlighting pro-lifer or a moonlighting Tear Partier? Would Ford hire and keep someone who promoted GM products publicly? <br /><br />It's a really refreshingly clear piece of writing, that and improved my opinion of the Cardinal considerably (not that that matters any).Jusadbellumnoreply@blogger.com
