“Ego enim accépi a Dómino quod et trádidi vobis, quóniam Dóminus Iesus, in qua nocte tradebátur, accépit panem,
“Et grátias agens fregit, et dixit: ‘Accípite, et manducáte: hoc est corpus meum, quod pro vobis tradétur: hoc fácite in meam commemoratiónem.’“As such, the voice of God which ever resonates in the one true Church of Christ is presently being drowned out, her countenance eclipsed.
“She is, however, still visible, if only we strive to see her. Likewise, her voice can still be heard, if only we strive to listen. This, my friends, is the only remedy to the deficit of manliness in our world, and indeed all of the problems that stem therefrom, which are far too numerous to count.
“Finding the visible Church and hearing her voice in our day takes effort, indeed, but know this:
“The first step is recognizing and acting upon – regardless of cost – the undeniable fact that the conciliar counterfeit church in Rome is a repository of lies and deception, with Jorge Bergoglio, its current head, dutifully serving as a mouthpiece for the Evil One, dispensing the poisonous food of error to the unwitting under the guise of good food.”

The faith and morals of the Church, enunciated by the priest, for example, in a discussion about the LGBTQ surrender on the set of “The Chosen”, is just one opinion among many. The response “I like it” is intended to imply endless debate in a realm of opinions. The facts mean nothing when personal wants and preferences are king. The teaching of the Church is ignored.
What the individual wants trumps all. Once again, in the new novus ordo religion, it’s “people over doctrine”. The priest and the Church have no authority in the lives of believers.
This is not Catholic because it’s no longer a religion where truth determines belief and action. They have uncrowned Christ and overthrown His Kingship without even a whisper of persecution.
The love of friendship means spending time and effort letting others get to know us. A virtuous friendship helps the other become holy.
We know that God has befriended us in authentic love because He has revealed to us His inner life of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the Most Holy Trinity. We reveal the truth about our inner life, to include the ugliness of sin, in Confession and God will always love us nonetheless as He forgives us. What a great friend and what a wonderful love.
