Another caring insight from the teacher of peace and my friend, Fr. Bryan Massingale.

“The Catechism of the Catholic Church is cited more than the one to whom the church is to lead us.” Really?… anyway the Catechism is based on the teaching of Jesus… I have no idea what this author is actually trying to say 🤷‍♂️

It’s too bad Fr Martin doesn’t obtain more of a positive thumbs up by wanting to bring the laity together in the name of our Lord Jesus. He would rather separate and confuse the laity then bring us all together in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Right on the mark! Thank you.

That's been the truth since Cardinal McCarrick, Cardinal Bernard Law and many before and after them.

We aren't yearning for the Gospel. We've encountered it and are looking for people who have also done so and those people aren't necessarily the ones sitting in the pews these days.
