what is sad is that it has become quite common that another priest would come against another priest. bishops against bishops. each presenting a contrary teaching. remember that case in which one school rejected a student from gay parents and another diocese came out and accepted the child. this a horrible thing that is happening in the Church and the bishops simply do nothing about it. this must end. the Church is so worried about ecumenism with other religions that the leaders are not paying attention what is really going within the Church. they should be more concern with the unity of teachings inside the Church.

This is off topic, but do you believe that God makes natural disasters happen?

With all things-God either allows them, or Wills them.

To understand this takes a deep Faith.

God either allows or Wills all things-so He can bring Good out of them:

Right here at CAF you yourself can search, read and learn about the Catholic Faith regarding many things, including the natural disasters you ask about.

I suggest when you search, you do the Advanced Search first, and see if an answer can be found under “Ask An Apologist.” Here is one such search I did just for you:

Have a Blessed Sunday!

How sad these times are and how many are being misled. That’s why it’s important to dig out the books and study, once again, exactly what it is the Church has always taught. The progressives would have us think that a new age is dawning in the church - one that will temper the Deposit of Faith as taught for 2,000 years. The TRUTH does not change and we are seeing apostasy within the ranks. A sign of the times?

I know there is a lot of angst over those being misled by incorrect teaching and interpretation, and just basic lack of knowledge, and there are oceans of prayers being said that those in such a position will find their way again.

But take some heart Tigg, there are also people finding their way through the maze, digging their way through the history, the books, the writings, etc. I’m quite new in the faith and I find it a constant, but joyful, challenge to get to the bottom of all these questions, to find out exactly what Jesus says, what the Bible says, what the Magisterium says, what the catechism says, what the ancient Church fathers said. I’m not alone, there are lots of us out here. Take heart.👍

I’ve just watched this and this young priest is awesome! He has a heavy load on such young shoulders. I would love to go to Mass in his church. 🙂

I think we are going to be hearing a lot more of him! At least, I hope we are. 😉
 
Father read what the Catechism teaches. Notice how Silva brushed right by the part where the act is a mortal sin. He only focused on how as a Catholic he was taught that everything is accepted.

Here again is Bishop Sheen:

Love is not tolerance

BISHOP FULTON J. SHEEN****Christian love bears evil, but it does not tolerate it.
Code: 
http://www.catholiceducation.org/images/authos/Sheen8.JPG  *Christian love bears evil, but  it does not tolerate it. *
It does penance for the sins of others, but it is not broadminded about sin.
*The cry for tolerance never induces it to quench its hatred of the evil philosophies that have entered into contest with the Truth. *
It forgives the sinner, and it hates the sin; it is unmerciful to the error in his mind.
*The sinner it will always take back into the bosom of the Mystical Body;
but his lie will never be taken into the treasury of His Wisdom. *
*Real love involves real hatred:
whoever has lost the power of moral indignation and the urge to drive the buyers and sellers from the temples
has also lost a living, fervent love of Truth. *
*Charity, then, is not a mild philosophy of “live and let live”;
it is not a species of sloppy sentiment. *
Charity is the infusion of the Spirit of God,
which makes us love the beautiful and hate the morally ugly.

You could live here for eternity in this corrupted world. Death is a way out. But you have to choose wisely.

Those who die in natural disasters are afforded no choice at all. And die before they wish.

Did they tell you their choice? Were you able to ask them if they died before they wished?

Anyway, back to the thread…

This is so good to hear. Thank you. I know that during these times, as much as Satan loves to confuse and cause doubts, to misdirect and cause despair, so too, the Spirit is being poured out, even more abundantly, upon those with open hearts who are seeking truth.

Oh, that’s right. We always see so many folks lining up, hands locked in prayer, asking to die in hurricanes, floods, fires, etc. So many parents who say, “Yes, take my children from me in this famine.” Yes, so many children who say, “Yes, please make me destitute orphans here in Haiti where I have such a great chance at a comfortable life without parents, without clean water, without basic medicine.”

Indeed, “Let’s make no efforts to provide medicine and knowledge of how to minimize the damage of pestilence and famine and structural collapse around the world because, after all, it is all part of God’s will and, of course, we don’t know actually how many folks are not going to their deaths in these cases quite willingly and longingly and with open arms of gratitude.”

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

If this is indeed true, what is the lesson here?
Be ready-today may be your Judgment. Mine. His. Theirs.

We are just passing through this world. We are not meant for this world. We are here to grow in Love toward God. To choose to live with Him forever-or not. One day, each of us will die and will go back to Him who made us through Love, or reject His Love (Mercy)-the unforgivable sin, and live forever without Him.

Like Christ said in Scripture (pick one):

Matthew 24:43-44

43 Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into.
44 So too, you also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.

Luke 12:39-40

39 Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
40 You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come."

Therefore, live each day as if it were your last.

God Bless.
