A civilization inspired by a consumerist, anti-birth mentality is not and cannot ever be a civilization of love.
To live without faith, without a patrimony to defend, without a steady struggle for truth – that is not living, but existing.
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.
In proclaiming the faith and in administering the sacraments every priest speaks on behalf of Jesus Christ, for Jesus Christ.
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.
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.
