The Church's authority tells the faithful to accept her teaching and her directives on pre-marital chastity, on priestly celibacy, on chastity in marriage by not interfering with the life process, on the value of confession for children, on the strict and very rare conditions for general absolution. on the vestments that a priest is to wear at Mass, or the recitation of the Divine Office by those in priestly orders, on the rubrics to be observed in the Eucharistic Liturgy, on the whole gamut of Catholic doctrine like the papal primacy, the Real Presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, and the meaning of sin. I said when the angels see what's going on on earth it's a spectacle. I don't quite know what I am saying, but I am sure the angels must weep at the lack of humility as a result of which those whom God has called, even to His deepest intimacy, fail in loving Him. They reverse the prayer of Jesus in the Garden, "Not your will, but mine be done"-and they mean it, they really mean it. I've reasoned, I've argued, given people every possible cogent reason for not insisting on something which the Church said was wrong. "Don't you see that the Church insists: 'You may not do this, you may not teach this'?" But they have a reason and the reason is their will.

And the deed was contrary to the will of God; and God was left to take the consequences."<br /><br />~Servant of God, Father John Anthony Hardon SJ<br /><br />God love you KY...Oh, that our Lord might hear our prayers...<br /><br />Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704944620839677383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44918019052750220.post-53397758854444185592012-12-05T17:25:36.512-05:002012-12-05T17:25:36.512-05:00Every day I have the great gift of God to attend d...Every day I have the great gift of God to attend daily Mass. Monday through Friday it is usually a 6:00a.m. Mass at a Jesuit Church. (No comment as to good or bad Jesuits.) In the rear of the Church is a statue of St. Isaac Jogues. His fingers show the signs of torture and mutilation, and his head the fatal wound of the tomahawk. Every day I light candles and say this prayer: "Dear St. Isaac Jogues and all the holy Jesuit saints and martyrs, especially Fr. John Hardon and Fr. Alfred Delp, please pray and intercede ardently for the Jesuits of today, that they may become holy and zealous priests of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and loyal sons of our Holy Father.

Padre Brennan asks the following question: &qu...So. Padre Brennan asks the following question: "Why is it that this privilege of celebrating the Mass and preaching, why is that exclusively a male privilege? Where do we get that? Isn't that worth discussing?"<br /><br />Answer:<br /><br />"If the choice of men by Christ and by the Church has really been only time-conditioned and changeable, then indeed very unpleasant consequences could be drawn.<br /><br />This attempted solution proceeds from the idea that Jesus, if He had lived in another time and in another land, could have also chosen women. This theory thus grants that there could be another time (or place) in which women could be completely appropriate for the fullness of the hierarchical and sacerdotal office.<br /><br />But then what follows? It follows that the Catholic Church and its supposedly divine office of mediation of grace stand fixed in a social ethos—that of the first century—which stands diametrically opposed to the ethos of the century in which the Church now lives.<br /><br />Grant this hypothesis and no single teaching of the Christ or the apostolic Church remains normative for all times. Instead of transcending time, Christianity would become the slave of time. The Beatitudes and the whole Sermon on the Mount, the precept of monogamy and the prohibition of adultery would become –as not a few are now urging—moral archaisms that had meaning and relevance in former days but are no longer meaningful and certainly not mandatory in our day.<br /><br />If someone objects that the ordination of men by Christ and the early Church was simply a contingent fact; that it could have been otherwise, I grant the observation. But since when are Christians to stand in judgment on why God did what He did, like become man, when the world could have (absolutely speaking) been redeemed without the Incarnation; or why God does what He does, like nourish us with His own Body and Blood when our spiritual life could (absolutely speaking) be sustained by other means if He had so chosen?<br /><br />One of the great blessings I see coming from the present discussion about the ordination of women is our deeper realization of God’s wisdom in providing for a variety of ways He can be loved, and a bewildering diversity of ministries by which He can be served.<br /><br />It is for us to stand in awe, and not in judgment, on the ways of God who chose a woman and not a man by whom to enter the world. If this was selectivity, and it was, it was not discrimination. God never does things without good reasons, even when these reasons escape or elude us who—would you believe—sometimes want to instruct God."<br /><br />Servant of God, Father John Anthony Hardon SJ<br /><br />At the end of Fr. Hardon's life when he was suffering from bone cancer he would often say: "so much work to do. So much work to do." Still, so much work to do...<br />Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704944620839677383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44918019052750220.post-5336880503693173872012-12-04T14:58:12.334-05:002012-12-04T14:58:12.334-05:00I'm wondering if this action - concelebrating ...I'm wondering if this action - concelebrating the Eucharistic Sacrifice with a minister of a community lacking the Apostolic Succession - would be considered one of the "graviora delicta" reserved to judgment by the Holy See.<br />Richard Chonakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327763839418228519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44918019052750220.post-81821596488828420132012-12-04T14:02:18.749-05:002012-12-04T14:02:18.749-05:00The altar cloth in the photo makes me ill- the Hol...The altar cloth in the photo makes me ill- the Holy Mass is not about us- let's not drag it into the mud of politics.<br /><br />All who read this post should be very sad for this priest's soul and should offer prayers for his salvation. priest's wife - S.T./ Anne Boyd https://www.blogger.com/profile/03792937108732259684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44918019052750220.post-60902748427313700552012-12-04T13:33:10.802-05:002012-12-04T13:33:10.802-05:00Brennan is not a good or faithful Priest.
