FINDING TRUTH WHEREVER IT MAY BE FOUND: “To my great surprise, I found that Catholicism was not as much a departure from the atheistic belief system I’d grown up with as it was an elaboration and fulfillment of it. I’d merely followed all those longing I felt for things like truth, beauty, justice, and peace and found that they had a source – a living, personal Source.” Jennifer Fulwiler in “This Rock”

That "father Tim" he's a cagey one, he is. One moment, he's writing this dribbling praise of mere words of a president of a country that sat by and did nothing for years, and the next he's saying that the Catholic church is irrelevant and dead in Ireland, and that it can't happen fast enough. Uh, WHAT?

Regarding the video on the Real Presence, so much could be said. I'm glad that I was given the gift of faith in the Eucharist before I saw this video, so that I would not have been like Doubting Thomas, who needed verifiable proof. But if these miracles help even one soul, how wonderful. Our Lord is so merciful.
ReplyDeleteRemember Warren, Tim is a Jesuit.
ReplyDeleteHe rightly condems those members of the Church who abused those children but in his effort to drive more people out of the Church he conveniently forgets that it was the state which gave the children to the religious orders and which did not exercise proper supervision. Many articles, readily available, say that the blame must be given to the those in the Church who did terrible things to children and the state and those lay people who knew of the abused and did nothing. To imply that every member of the Church in Ireland knew of the abuse and did nothing is simply untrue and represents Tim's effort to bring about the demise of the Church in Ireland. We don't leave Jesus because of Judas but Tim, I feel, is packing his bags.
Oi. If anybody needs a smackdown, err.... apostolic visitation.... it's those wacky Jesuits. :-)
