As a priest this is what he condemns....practicing Catholics??!!<br /><br /><b>When Our Lord spoke to the rich young man, He looked upon him with love when he told Our Lord he had kept all the Commandments from his youth -- and thus Our Lord asked him to do even more; Our Lord also told us to be perfect as Our Father in Heaven is perfect; He further said that unless we likewise repent and do penance we will also perish...and the list goes on.</b><br /><br />This is clearly the FrancisEffect -- virtue is condemned for its own sake and sin is coddled and given pride of place. <b><i>"Woe to him who makes white black and black white; who makes evil good and good evil...."</i></b><br /><br />What Father Rosica forgets is that the Pharisees were condemned by Our Lord NOT for observing the Laws of God, but for being HYPOCRITES and harboring hatred, contempt and self-love in their hearts, while also FAILING to live truly just lives. <br /><br />Our Lord said of the Pharisees <b><i>"All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not; for they say, and do not."</i></b><br /><br />How is that for a complete error check on Father Rosica's twisted commentary?<br /><br />It has gotten to the point where I believe everyone is FrancisChurch no longer actually reads the Scriptures. In the Scriptures Christ condemns sin on page after page after page -- with exigency and intransigence. He showed mercy only when souls repented of their wrongdoing.<br /><br /><b>WHO is this strange Christ that FrancisChurch has manufactured out of thin air -- a Christ in complete contradiction to the Christ revealed to us in the Word Made Flesh.</b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981956.post-49767618032932376942015-09-01T18:01:38.449-04:002015-09-01T18:01:38.449-04:00Seeing that face reminds me that the crazy synod i...Seeing that face reminds me that the crazy synod is going to start up soon.

If you wake up every morning feeling alive and grateful because He died on the cross so that you could experience life to the fullest without caring about sin (because He has taken all sins upon himself) then YOU can experience the amazement of loving a woman or two or three or all of them at once (they are all different and very enriching experiences). Same if you want to feel what it's like with a man. Or say you want to travel around the world and need some money, well, I'm sure you can rob your neighbor and your happiness will absolve you from any damage (in fact, that poor old pharisee should be very happy to support you in living your life to the fullest).<br /><br />Hurray for the merciful times we live in!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981956.post-34283764892602233132015-09-01T08:54:29.886-04:002015-09-01T08:54:29.886-04:00Right Anonymous, Satan doesn't even need to hi...Right Anonymous, Satan doesn't even need to hide anymore. He is so bold as to be 'in your face' with his lies and evil. It's very obvious that these prelates do not practice Catholicism. And I hate to say, but the truth is they have been emboldened by the Pope himself. The 'wolves' in sheep's clothing don't need the clothing anymore. They are 'out and proud.' Well, I guess look at it this way, we don't have to wonder anymore who they are.

I tolerate moral evil. But that's ok, because I am sure I am not a Pharisee and I have Heaven guaranteed!.. because Jesus died on the Cross and I "believe".<br /><br />I am so stunned Fr. Rosica said those things. Were they nor trying to hide this stuff? Well, I think of Germany now.

You are a great example and encouragement. Our Lord will recognise those who have recognised Him before the hostile world, who have put their love of Him, of truth before their own wellbeing or safety. Blessed are those who suffer in the cause of right for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Thank you! Your sister in Christ.
