In the early Church they used to say that so-and-so was
'asleep in the Lord' when they died, but remember, they were talking about the saints.
"Death is nothing other than falling asleep in the hands of God."
The souls in hell are "asleep in the hands of God"?
They would never have said that's
all death
ever is, being asleep in the Lord. So this is another example of how Modernists take the language of the early Church and make it twisted into something it never was before. To say that "death is
nothing other than falling asleep in the hands of God" is a half-truth, and
a half-truth is a whole lie. The thing that rubs me at first sight is knowing that these two good priests were outspoken against
Sodomy and abortion, two of the sins that cry to heaven for vengeance, just as Fr. Kunz had been 16 years ago. And the assailants in both cases seems to be someone who is not, shall we say, "new" at this kind of thing?
And then along comes Bishop Olmstead with his effeminate pronunciation of the English language, and my skin begins to crawl. I'm not judging him on this alone, but I'm saying that it certainly puts a most ominous appearance on the whole affair. It would have been far better if his style of speaking were more masculine, because this way, it just looks plain spooky.
