Fr. Thomas Weinandy: The Difference a Year Makes...

"I am convinced more now than a year ago, that by exposing all of the evil, the Lord Jesus is in the process of purifying his body, the Church. The present sin within the Church is often terrifying and disheartening to see. It is good for us to keep in mind, however, that the fire of the Holy Spirit may burn, but its burning is unto holiness – and that is wondrous to behold."          

Fr. Thomas Weinandy

Remember Fr. Weinandy and the letter that got him thrown under the bus by the USCCB a year ago? Today, he has an article at The Catholic Thing titled, "The Letter: One Year Later." 

Sad to say, the USCCB is not exactly a fan of truth-telling. The organization is polluted with modernist Catholics willing to lie and distort the faith. Some high level bureaucrats there support and contribute to pro-abortion politicians. 

How faithfully do the bureaucrats represent the bishops? Well, no doubt they faithfully represent some of them, certainly men like Donald Wuerl, Joseph Tobin, Blase Cupich, Kevin Farrell, etc. I fear they may represent most, a chilling thought.

But then I think of how the Holy Spirit and the Blessed Mother always use a minority of good, holy, faithful (often little) servants to work wonders. What a tiny band the apostles were on Pentecost as they burst out of the upper room into the world! 

Pentecost winds roar around us these days in the midst of the flood of evil. They will blow a road for us through the water, like the parting of the Red Sea for Moses and the Israelites.

Pray, hope, and don't worry. God wins!
