To oBEdiance or not to oBEdiance
As faithful Catholics spend another week without the graces of the Sacraments we have to deal with the fall out of our Priests being obedient to our Bishops
Why do I phrase this in such a way? Isn’t obedience good?
Before we answer that, let us define our terms and their origins.The concept of obedience has existed in society for ages. The concept comes from the perspective that someone or something which possesses greater knowledge and wisdom merits authority over others for the greater good of society and mankind.
Most of our societal underpinnings in law come from religious belief...
SANCTIFY
Sanctify our church once again. Initiate programs which accept responsibility for past actions but provide real help and support to those who we have offended. Initiate programs to reinforce Catholic teaching and provide safeguards to the sacraments.
DEFEND
Defend our teachings and our faith from those who wish to corrupt it. This includes Bishops and priests who practice contrary to church law..
