I’m still bothered by Pilar’s attitude. The Protestants, (I was one), often accuse Catholics of being tolerant of sin. After all, say many Protestants, all the Catholic has to do is go to confession, get absolved, and then go out and commit the same sins again.

Is this how Catholics, (e.g. the first families) in Pilar’s old parish behaved? I would gather as much from Pilar’s words. Safe to say, St. Paul would not have tolerated such behavior among the members of a Catholic congregation, though he reluctantly conceded that it had to be tolerated in society at large.

I Cor. 5:9, 10” I wrote to you in the letter not to associate with the immoral,( I.e. in your midst) Not meaning, of course, the immoral of this world, or the covetous, or the greedy, or idolators; otherwise you would have to leave the world…”

But, it seems, immorality among some Catholics in Pilar’s old parish was just a fact of life that one had to live with. Apparently, that was the attitude of the prior at ICC in Post Falls too.

In the letter to the Ephesians, St. Paul writes: “But immorality and every uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becomes saints…”(5:3)

Protestants say that yes, but you might mention that it is not true. In order for your confession to be valid, the Catholic MUST have the intention to TRY not to sin again.
Many Protestants say since Christ died for our sins, and as Luther said, "go and sin boldly." Is this what is happening?

Recently listened to a 1955 lecture by Bp. Fulton Sheen on MacBeth.

He said the play describes two human ages: One of Repentance and one of Denial.

We live in a "MacBethian" age of the Denial of Sin.

The xSPX is an example of this:

They deny their sins of pastoral mis-management, while demonstrating their priorities are the avoidance of lawsuits and bad PR,
versus the interests of their children, families and the integrity of their Catholic school.

It's scary that these types care more about that than caring about legal action against the PERPETRATORS. That is a DIABOLICAL disorientation of right and wrong.

More than scary, it's terribly disappointing that sspx types, who might argue that they are on the cutting edge of true "traditional" Catholic praxis, are no more enlightened theologically or advanced morally than the dullest members the fallen and despised Novus Ordo church. Maybe it's time to become Lutherans.
