The Fight is in the Church

How many bishops will fight for the truth? Not enough! Some are more willing to fight for the Almighty tax exemption than for Almighty God. The bishop of El Paso, Armando Xavier Ochoa, recently banished an orthodox priest, Fr. Michael Rodriguez, for daring to preach what the Church teaches about same-sex marriage. He publicly repudiated what the priest published in several ads in the El Paso Times, even though Fr. Rodriguez's teaching was firmly rooted in Catholic orthodoxy.

In other words, the bishop publicly stated that the Church does not teach what she does, in fact, teach. If you aren't horrified by that, you don't have a Catholic mind, no matter what you call yourself. As for the bishop, pray for him. When he denies the teachings of the Church, he is denying Christ. He would rather be silent than warn those teetering on the brink of hell.

Wake up, Catholics, the fight is in the Church with priests and bishops who will not preach the truth. They would rather be conformed to the world than to conform their minds and hearts to Christ Jesus. No wonder several saints warned that the floor of hell is littered with the skulls of bishops.

  1. I fear that this is all about the reelection of Obama for social justice goodies, not the faith!
