Job 7 The life of man upon earth is a warfare, and his days are like the days of a hireling...
As Father Jean Gaume taught : " The effects of sin in regard to man are weakened but not destroyed by Redemption; this work will only consummated in heaven. Until we arrive there ,we shall have warfare; intellectual warfare, There must be heresies ; moral warfare it must needs be that scandal come ; physical warfare through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.
But our modern Popes and prelates have made a rupture with the past and they prefer to live in peace with the the world; they seek its approval; they seek to adapt its praxis to the practices of a new paganism; they have cast aside the praxis of Tradition and preach peace amongst all men but a peace that necessarily excludes both Jesus and His truth which ineluctably creates division and tension and sets Sons against Father and Daughters against Mother.
Truth divides. If Popes and Prelates will not Teach the truth; if Popes and Prelates will not Rule in favor of Truth; if Popes and Prelates wil not sanctity their flocks in Truth then they are salt that has lost its savour and will be trodden under the feet of the very men they seek to please and serve.
Pope Paul VI publicly told the Priests if Rome he could apply discipline but he preferred to be loved.
He said that after a speech as Pope during Vatican Two that he and the fathers of the Council were the holiest Catholics ever and who loved Jesus more than any Catholics who had come before them.
Personal arrogance combined with an accommodation to our ancient and permanent enemy, the world, and The Bishop of Rome's model of a Papacy is that of Paul VI.
Gee, can't understand why that isn't working out for us Catholics.
