Pray for Fr. Michael Rodriguez, Another Persecuted Priest!

Blessed be the name of the Lord in both joy and sorrow.

Fr. Michael Rodriguez has been persecuted for several years, primarily because of his adherence to the Latin Mass, the Mass of the ages.

He is suspended from public ministry and is starting a sabbatical to discern his future. When you consider that ope;nly homosexual priests continue to serve in "good standing" the treatment of this priest is shocking...no...horrifying.

Watch the humble homily from his last public Mass. and then read the linked articles below. And above all, please pray for Fr. Rodriguez and, as a sacrifice for him, accept your sufferings as a grace from God that unites you more closely to Christ. "Look to the crucifix...and understand more deeply...what it means to suffer."  Amen!

The Trials of the Papist Priest

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.
