Let me repeat Fr. Hardon's words:
Why was there a Judas? One of the reasons the Church gives is to prepare the faithful for apostate bishops. And you see how important it is for bishops to remain faithful to Jesus Christ and his vicar on earth. No heresy has ever succeeded in history unless and until it was backed by a bishop. Pray, pray, pray for bishops!Yes, pray for the bishops. Many among them are Judases and apostates. Let's pray for the discernment to recognize them and warn the faithful against them.
Fr. Hardon is a saint! How fortunate you were to be in his company.
ReplyDeleteAmen! I treasure a picture of him with my sister and myself from his last retreat in Windsor, Canada. Archbishop Burke came as well because Fr. Hardon was passing the mantle of the Marian Catechists to him. What a blessed retreat that was for me.
