We Are The Laity

We are The Laity. We believe in the immutable and universal truths of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, as revealed by God and unfailingly taught by the Church for nearly two millennia.

But the Church is in crisis, unlike any it has faced in its long and glorious history. We can no longer afford to sit on the sidelines.

For too long the laity has permitted the leaders of the Catholic Church to allow some priests, religious and lay leaders to teach heresy from the ambo and in the classrooms, to lead others into error and sin, and create scandal in the Church established by Jesus Christ.

There are many good priests, religious and laity in our Church, and they are being harmed, some irreparably so, by the failure of the Church to stand up for its teachings. Our seminaries are empty, churches go without pastors, and too many followers of Jesus Christ are falling into apostasy, ignorant of the truth.

No more.

No longer will we stand by in silence as priests fail to teach the truth in our churches. No longer will we permit religious education teachers to lead our children into grievous error. No longer will we permit our leaders to allow and even promote the scourge of sexual sin in the seminaries and the priesthood. No longer will we suffer the efforts of some bishops and priests to change Church teaching to adapt to the “normalization” of homosexuality and dysfunctional gender theories.

We are the laity. We have a voice. And we will be heard.

Prayer for the Laity

Heavenly Father, you have called us all to holiness which means sharing in your divine life. Fill us with a sense of our true dignity as those called to be your daughters and sons in the world and your ambassadors of justice, love and peace. Give us the desire to be worthy of this great calling and the courage to live up to it. We ask this through Christ, our Lord.

Speaking Truth to “Power”

On November 23, a judge who describes herself as “Catholic” and a lesbian who is “married” to another woman was called and privately informed by her parish priest, Fr. Nolan, that she was not to present herself for Communion.  When she presented herself, she was denied. She then went to confession, publicly rebuked her lifestyle, and reconciled herself to the Church….

No, she called the local television station.  According to Wood TV, she is “lifelong Catholic”, “a beloved judge” who “comes from a family of prominent community members”, a victim of a “public shunning”. who “has made it clear that gay people are not welcome”.  The report also describes the decision to deny communion as “{Fr. Nolan’s] new rule”, as if he just made it up on the spot.

Holiness, Masculinity, Defending the Truth, Faith and Family

But my heart is heavy— as perhaps many of yours are— about the future our kids will face — in a culture that is becoming anti-Christ and is losing its moral compass. Our “one nation under God” is crumbling. Psalm 11 laments: “Foundations once destroyed, what can the just do?” God help us. And He will. He promised that “against His Church the gates of hell will not prevail.” Amen! But in the meantime we’re in a fight.

Mortal sin has become law — abortion, euthanasia, gay marriage so-called, to name a few. Our Lady of Fatima warned us that the final battle would be over the family. According to St. John Paul II, the family,defined as a husband, wife and child, is “the living icon of the Holy Trinity.” Thus, it is no wonder evil hates it and is at work, “to steal, kill and destroy” it.

The Heart of the Matter

These brief essays may or may not describe the church you are in. 

They may or may not describe the persons sitting next to you in the pew. 

They may or may not describe the persons living in your home. 

They may or may not describe the person occupying your own shoes.

But we can assure you, the symptoms revealed in these essays exist in many churches… far too many churches.  And the causes are not something that can be easily dismissed.

We Need An Intervention!

In his homily, Archbishop Blair reflected on the day’s memorial of St. Charles Borromeo and read a description of the saint by Bishop Antonio Seneca of Anagni, Italy, who had lived in the same house with him.

St. Charles, the archbishop read, was “vigilant in rooting out vice, benevolent in correction, just in judgment, loving in punishment, patient of human weakness, quick to avenge disobedience, his justice was united with kindness, his severity with gentleness and peace. He was a diligent guardian of wholesome discipline both in priests and people.”

Archbishop Blair said that the Italian bishop’s description of the saint “took place in a church that had seemed to be failing, really failing.”
