Which church did you get driven out of, who is the priest and for what reason?
Satan's challenge to destroy the Church, as Christ moves towards His glorious triumph, serves a purpose - or God would have never allowed him to try.
I like the way Fr. Wathen puts it:
"....no matter what anyone does, whether from within or without, he will not succeed in destroying the Church. The enemies of Christ's Church do not believe this, which explains why they will never cease to try."
yeh, as to that last, I have had the same thought as Fr W
which Church? I don't want to say at this time... Does it matter? Other churches I have been to are... well, the priests there have also acted like I was far from welcome, so he is just the one who took it to the utmost... his hate.
Jesus said we would be hated (Mark 1313 and etc)
anyway.. yes, I do realize (but thanks for the reminder, esp to those who
don't realize) that God allows such things for a reason. Soemtimes we impatient creatures get angry and upset w/ God's ways... bc as per Isaiah, they are not OUR ways... but I think we can all agree God knows best...
