Condemning Evil VS Popularity A Sign of Defection

  • Our Lord told his Apostles to expect the World to hate them for it hated him.  His Apostles all suffered Martyrdom for the faith as a result (St John notwithstanding but not for them not trying.) We should ask ourselves why did this occur?  If you think about it , it occurred mainly because the Apostles Never shirked from their responsibility to condemn evil.

    POPES Bishops and Priests for Centuries have done the same Our Martryology is a thick book isnt it. So what have we to say about Prelates who refuse to confront the Evils of Our Day?   St John Chrysostom wrote " Not on account of their own , but on account of the sins of others that they did not prevent , Priests are often condemned to hell"  

    We see today , many people who consider themselves to be Catholic , Accepting such abominations as Birth Control , Divorce , Even in some cases Abortion (Life of the Mother).  We see movements of acceptance for a " gαy" lifestyle or ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity as an Identity being relegated and referred to merely as a "Political Question " to be dealt with on a nation by nation or case by case Basis.  

    Where is the Courage?  TRUE Popes and True Bishops are not afraid to be unpopular at the expense of the immortal souls of men.

    If , therefore , a modern day Prelate is LOVED by Secularists ,  what does that say about  him.   If all you ever hear about is the Mercy of GOD all the while Sin is pervasive and unchallenged ,  does that same popularity exist in Heaven above , as for the sake of Popularity , Souls are daily falling into Hell?  

    As the Church Militant we must hold these prelates accountable. We must demand Evil be confronted. Even if Our Battle is merely waged through Spiritual Means.

    EVIL is not merely the overt action of Evil - but likewise EVIL is acceptance of EVIL as good or a failure to confront evil.

    That is what we have today.
