That was once the case, or at least it was tried. Shortly after Catholic immigrants started coming in large numbers, Catholic grade schools, high schools, colleges and universities sprung up. They really did try to form a faithfully Catholic lady or gentleman. And they hoped such a group would guide this country in moral ways.

But the thing fell apart in the seventies, and now we see homosexual organizations recognized on most “Catholic” campuses and a lot of heterodoxy.

Do you (and others here on CAF) believe that the Lord has given us over to our sins and abandoned us? I kind of feel that way–that God is using this abandonment to force us to seek His Face and call upon His Name again.

I know God still works in the hearts of certain Christians, but I think that these people are becoming rarer in this country. I pray that I am one of the “remnant” and not one of the departers, but I find it difficult to maintain my zeal for the Lord and His Church during this time when meeting with Christians in the Holy Mass is “not encouraged” and in some places, forbidden by various city/town ordinances.

I know that there have been other times in history when Christians have been forbidden to meet with each other in worship, and we got through it and grew stronger. I hope that happens here in the U.S., but I am discouraged. At this time when Christians should be leading the world in humanitarian outreaches, we are hiding in our houses counting on our scraps of face cloth to deliver us from the evil virus.

I don’t, because I don’t think God ever abandons us. But I do think we have increasingly abandoned God.
 
Reminds me of Jeremiah 2:13

"For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, The fountain of living waters, To hew for themselves cisterns, Broken cisterns That can hold no water.”

The difference between Croatian and Serbian is relatively small. Similar to the differences between American and Australian. Mainly colloquial expressions. Serbians use Cyrillic and Croatians don’t. More of a dialect than a major difference. Some in the area would beg to differ, but if you can speak one, you can be understood in either Bosnia, Serbia or Croatia.
 
How do you suggest he do that? He can’t wave a magic wand and declare it so.

What we need in this country as in all countries is a truly Catholic elite formed by the best education has to offer with a solid grounding in the truth of the Faith.

Do you mean someone like AOC who is the future of the Catholic church?

AOC is the future of the Catholic Church

NCR Connections: U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's stunning 10-minute speech on the House floor last week has been called a lot of things, including "a lesson in sexism and decency." I just call it "truth."

Not only that but we also see recognition and congratulations to alumni who enter into SS marriages.
