I'm really not looking forward to June, but neither is the average American it seems. People are visibly fatigued fron the rainbow propaganda. It was noticeable last year.
For the past few years I have been overwhelmed by a deep sense of betrayal by the Church institutionally. It is different from anything else I’ve experienced in my life. It’s devastating.
I've had that sense of loss and devestation for a long time now. I understand where you're coming from. But Christ didn't leave us orphans. I listen to people like Robert but tend to avoid some of the more outspoken, angry Catholic sites. It's not that I disagree with most of them, it's just that I lose my peace. I attend TLM quite regularly and when it's not available the NO in a church that's not my parish church but one where the Mass is celebrated with great reverence, and there is confession available every day. We can do little about the state of the church apart from pray. And we have the sacraments instituted by Christ to nourish us. This too will pass. The Holy Spirit will renew the Church, but not without suffering. Hand everything over to Him. God bless
Robert, this book mentions the relationship and the union immediately in the beginning. The defenders of FS have repeated endlessly, including the pope in his last interview, that it isn't the relationship nor the union that is blessed, but the persons, individually, in the couple. I personally think the distinction is ridiculous, as the persons do present themselves as a couple, holding hands etc. but I find it difficult to be interested in the book, when it doesn't even take into account the contorted defense of FS. I suppose it was written before the (ongoing) debate and the multiple clarifications, but it doesn't seem to address the main issue that remains AFTER them: how can you bless the individuals in a couple without acknowledging - and thus, in a sense condoning - what precisely makes them a couple? Anyways, thanks for the link. I'll give it a try. God bless 😁🙏
@@thecatholicman Absolutely. And they can hide behind the fact that "it's not a sacrament" and doesn't bless union/relationship, only the individuals in the couple ... I don't understand how people just accept this justification. It's so absurd 😬
Thanks for reading the foreword. Up until then i had no intention of reading the 'book' since I thought why do i want to read about confusion: Señor Bergoglio whom most think is a validly elected pope gave his mission statement, his papal device, usurping Christ's mission statement: MAKE A MESS. (What would that be in Latin, I wonder.) When I first heard this i was actually pleased; fed up, for example with people sitting in the same pews week after week, whereas i would say a wee prayer asking to be led to meet someone I should meet. I even bought the man's book for a train journey up to Paris. Fast forward to the summer of shame and what the Americans call being red-pilled. Only one way 'Pope' Francis is not the worst pope in history, and that is if he is not the pope at all. I shall download and read. Thanks again.
I have read the Breached Dam. It is a very useful and nuanced explanation of the present historical moment in the Church. Thank you, Robert, for publicizing the book. Let us pray for the Church and the Holy Father because as the Vicar of Christ (no matter how unworthy) he is under enormous attack both spiritual and psychological.
Thank you for being a voice of sanity, Robert. The level of confusion is harming the church. Why would those who supposedly are there to love and protect the church, directly harming Her?
