A number of Catholic bishops have been using the Orlando shooting to promote the liberal, politically correct agenda: attacking Catholics for "anti-gay prejudice," promoting gun control, and saying nary a word about the violence of Islam. Robert Lynch was the most outrageous blaming the Catholic faith for fomenting hatred against gays. His fulmination should be challenged. And so I'm posting in toto a message from Catholic Vote forwarded to me from a friend. It includes contact information for the bishop at the end. I hope everyone reading this will take the opportunity to send Bishop Lynch a (civil) letter or email.

And You Thought Politics Played no Part in Faith?
Of course that's a joke. Politics has influenced Christianity since the Pharisees conspired to bring down Jesus and bribed Judas to betray Him. So the article below is no surprise. It is absolutely predictable that liberals are meeting to strategize how to put forth their agenda at the October Ordinary Synod. Let us pray that the orthodox are seeking the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to foil their plans.
Remember the Scripture passage about the dishonest steward in Luke chapter 8? Jesus commends him for his shrewdness. He wasn't praising his evil acts, but the steward was cunning and planned ahead. Too many Christians think sitting on their hands and letting God do everything is a virtue. But we would do well to remember that quietism, the belief in complete passivity in moral matters, annihilating the will and leaving all to God, is a heresy.
We are called to be as shrewd as serpents and as gentle as doves. So preparing with a zeal equal to those who are undermining the faith is a moral responsibility. Pray for those preparing for the synod who love God with their whole heart, mind, soul and strength, that God will give them all they need to defend Holy Mother Church against her internal enemies. God knows there are plenty of them!
