I would like to know, why is it that some priests even the “conservative” ones fall into an arrogant attitude regarding popular devotions such as having more than one devotion?? For example they frown upon having many statues of saints, the Blessed Mother, different scapulars, etc. WHY??? If those who really use them with true faith only grow closer to God because of them?? I understand there are those who use all this but never go to church, no confess, nor practice Faith, Hope, and Charity. But what of those that have PURE faith in these sacramentals as LEADING them closer to God and holiness? I think these priests have fallen for the most part in an intellectual pride. I do know some good holy ones who support all these devotions, and at the same time they have DOCTORATES in theology from Roman universities. If anything, to oppose these devotions is really LACK of education and really ignorance.
What do you all think on this??
Thanks.
