Dymphna and the State of the Church

Thank you, Archbishop Vigano!

Dymphna'sRoad posted some important information the past few days. Check it out here and here. The first post asks if your bishop has called for an investigation of McCarrick and hotlinks to a summary of U.S. bishops' statements. It's incomplete as yet but gives information about the response to Archbishop Vigano's call for transparency and investigation. You can also click to share on Facebook and Twitter. Please, let's make this go viral -- and be sure to thank your bishop if he's one of the 54% calling for an investigation.

Guest Post: Not Too Random Thoughts on the State of the Church

I received this email from a friend and found his insights interesting and thoughtful. He lives a quiet life and has turned his home into almost a little chapel. When he shared photos of his projects and then sent this email I couldn't resist asking to share it. I think it shows the benefits of silence and healthy labor. We also share a love for St. Joan of Arc. I added a few comments in red.

Some thoughts, hoping they are not too random....

Of course, I was wary when a Latin American Jesuit was elected pope. But I still hoped for the best. I was alarmed by this statement from the early interview which appeared in the Jesuit journal America: “The dogmatic and moral teachings of the church are not all equivalent. The church’s pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently."

How is truth disjointed or disconnected from itself? [Good Question! The pope's comment is like a math teacher saying math rules encompass a "disjointed multitude" and shouldn't be "imposed insistently." If the students want to say 2 + 2 = 5 who are we to judge? Only pharisees and disturbed individuals insist on rigid rules]

Random Thoughts & Questions on the State of the Faith and the World

Gender ideology is demonic, but who am I to judge?

Many people in the pew could tell you more about sports history and rules than about the history of the Church and her doctrines.

Why is it okay for a man to flaunt his "junk" in front of little girls in a woman's locker room, when he'd be arrested if he hid behind a bush in a trench coat and did the same?

In view of Jesuits universities now fully immersed in the transgender culture which Pope Francis calls "demonic," can we expect them to be disciplined?
