A civilization inspired by a consumerist, anti-birth mentality is not and cannot ever be a civilization of love.
Those who with God's help have welcomed Christ's call and freely responded to it are urged on by love of Christ to proclaim the Good News everywhere in the world.
That Christianity gives joy and breadth is also a thread that runs through my whole life. Ultimately someone who is always only in opposition could not endure life at all.
In proclaiming the faith and in administering the sacraments every priest speaks on behalf of Jesus Christ, for Jesus Christ.
No one is forced to be a Christian. But no one should be forced to live according to the "new religion" as though it alone were definitive and obligatory for all mankind.
In yet another idiotic move, the post-Vatican II Church has decided to celebrate the division that came about as a result of Lutheranism, having issued a communique entitled " FROM CONFLICT TO COMMUNION Lutheran-Catholic Common Commemoration of the Reformation in 2017". The documente was evidently issued last year. I was worried this would happen.
