Nabi Sayeth: If Only They Would Try to Live Like Saints like WW I Chaplain Willie Doyle, SJ

Pray to this hero priest for
the conversion of his brothers.

Nabi Sayeth: Have you ever wondered why many clergymen, both bishops and priests, live lives that run so contrary to the life of Jesus and the great Saints throughout history?

Why do they spend so much of their time viewing pornography, playing around in gay bars and chat rooms, and in various and sundry liaisons?

Does the standard excuse, “They were BORN that way” suffice as a valid excuse?

I do believe that being “ born that way” can never serve as an excuse for pathetically seductive predatory behavior.

Think about how ludicrous the excuse of being “born that way” sounds in light of:

-       A French priest who sexually abused several teen-aged boys: Pierre de Castelet admitted to “an emotional attraction for boys aged 11-13” but said that he “did not realize the harm that it could do them.” 

The priest, who was removed from active ministry by bishop Blaquart, told investigators that he was “alone against the world” in dealing with his attraction to young boys, and complained of a lack of support from Church authorities. (Catholic News Agency 11/24/18)

Hope for the Future: An Essay from Une Femme who Happens to be my Granddaughter

My granddaughter, Mia, was confirmed in May and recently wrote about her experience. As I read her essay, I felt a surge of hope for the future. I know God is pleased with young Catholics like Mia who are not afraid to publicly profess her faith and share it with others. At fourteen she is an aide to the second grade CCD teacher in her parish. Every week she shares about a saint offering heroes to her young charges. We were chatting this morning about various ways to bring alive her saint stories in ways the children will remember. Please pray for Mia and all of the children of the Church who represent her future. While the world is dark indeed there are many candles lighting up the darkness.
