You no doubt have noticed that the readings over the past weeks center around the book of Maccabees and the abominations raised up in the temple and the persecutions of Antiochus. Is it "just a coincidence" that we heard these things (and continue to hear them) during and after the pagan Amazon Synod? I don't think so. God seems to be pointing his finger at the desecrations and inviting us to open our eyes and SEE. If you haven't been fighting yet, Church Militant, it's time, way past time in fact. Today I'm writing to my bishop asking for Masses of repentance -- at the Cathedral -- and at every parish in the diocese. Whom do we serve? Pope Francis and Pachamama or Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. "I call heaven and earth to witness this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Choose therefore life, that both thou and thy seed may live." (Deut 30:19)
