The Future of Our Church

 When I began writing this blog, like many Catholics I was very reliant on a 'sola scriptura' approach to Christianity.   I did learn at school that the Church did not rely just on the Bible but something called 'Tradition', which distinguished it from the Protestant Churches.    It had something to do with the Early Church and what the early Church taught.   That is why when the modernists entered the Church attacking the Mass, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and even the teachings of Christ on sin, most Catholics did not have the knowledge to stand against them.    If they said the Mass was a simple meal that Our Lord celebrated on Holy Thursday, we could not contradict since we knew nothing of Ignatius of Antioch or Pope Clement.    And when they started teaching our schoolchildren safe sex and involving them with the rest of the young people of this country in the sexual revolution, we knew little of the early Church and Hippolytus and St Justin.    We were ignorant of our Catholic ancestors, and we were ignorant of the fact that the modernists were bringing us a new Faith and a new Jesus, a Jesus who did not really care what we did or what became of us.  He was no longer the Way, the Truth, and the Life, for what was the point, after all we were told we were all going to Heaven, so do not worry about keeping His Commandments to show your love for Him.   Take Him off the altar and put him out of the way, for we must not adore this new Jesus.   Thousands listened to thr lies, and we lost our young people, for after all they were now having real problems in their lives because of the sexual revolution, and the Church in the UK was doing nothing but assure them they were not sinning.

I am growing tired of this Church which itself is tired and worn out.   The words of St Justin come to me, 'The Church is not a belief system, but a way of life'.   When will a Catholic Way of life be restored to the Church?    For my part I am often foolish in what I do and in what I write.  How I long for one priest of bishop to stand up and say we have forsaken the Gospel and the real Jesus.   Heresy does not die it must be opposed.   God has given the task to us in the many graces and gifts we receive.   Yes we will receive opposition and will feel the Cross on our shoulders, but Jesus will be there to help us whatever we do.
