Right now, the pastors who were ordained in the 50s, 60s and 70s are retiring and dying. In many dioceses new ordinations are on the rebound. The younger priests and younger parishioners are clamoring to regain much which was lost in the Church as a result of Vatican II mis-interpretations.
Yes, well said!! What comes around goes around. The dinosaurs will be extinct. I hope we don’t go to the other extreme.

That’s better! I must have missed the name after the word quote.

Sorry for sounding crude, what I was trying to reffer to is Mathew 18 6:7 where Jesus says" whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea".

I know we aren’t not supposed to take everything in the bible literally but I feel that Bishop Flynn is in jepordy of losing his soul. I hope the laity of the diocese takes matters into there own hands and brings this abomination to the attention of higher authorities.
I wouldn’t say Archbishop Flynn is in danger of losing his soul. That’s just ludicrous! I wouldn’t even say he’s liberal - as a mater of fact he’s quite Orthodox - but he’s definitely not a hatchet man. If anything, I’d say he’s a little too soft.

Sometimes people like to say he’s strategic. They say that crowd needs their gathering space and if the axe fell on St. Joan of Arc, there would be dissenters scattered all over the diocese planting bad seeds. I don’t know if I agree with that. I think Flynn is just trying to maintain the peace.

Personally, I think that’s the problem with the Church today. It’s afraid of proclaiming truth, because somebody might get mad and cause a schism. They forget it’s not human reasoning that saves, but faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I’m happy to see so many young priests that are not afraid to bolding proclaiming truth, while still being compassionate and charitable. Some day they’ll be our bishops.
 
Noticed a couple of things on their web site. If you read their mission statement you would not know they are Catholic and under sacraments, confession is by apt. usually “before the 5pm Sat. Mass”. Based on the number of links I would conclude that being homosexual is more important than being repentant. (I am talking about repentance in general-not specifically with regards to homosexual activity)

They also support adoption by gay people.

Let’s pray for this parish.
