In the name of tolerance, tolerance is being abolished; this is a real threat we face.
For many people today, practical atheism is the normal rule of life...If this attitude becomes a general existential position, then freedom no longer has any standards, then everyting is possible and permissible.
One can readily admit that the Magisterium's manner of expression does not seem very easy to understand at times. It needs to be translated by preachers and catechists into a language which relates to people and to their respective cultural environments. The essential content of the Church's teaching, however, must be upheld in this process. It must not be watered down on allegedly pastoral grounds, because it communicates the revealed truth.
Certainly, it is difficult to make the demands of the Gospel understandable to secularized people. But this pastoral difficulty must not lead to compromises with the truth.
Evil too, will always be part of the mystery of the Church. And when we see what men, what the clergy have done in the Church, then that is nothing short of proof that he [Christ] founded and upholds the Church. If she were dependent on men, she would long since have perished.
We are told that the apostates in the Vatican will be releasing postage stamps in honour of the arch-heretic Martin Luther.
Given the accelerated pace at which Bergogli's sodomy-pushing henchmen are attacking the faith, by this time next year I would almost be surprised if they haven't got around to having postage stamps featuring/honouring Lucifer himself.
