Dear Friends,

It is not too often that we find ourselves simultaneously as a society and in the Church  wondering which road to take that will determine our future in such a dramatic manner, and very possibly all too traumatic. This time in history did not just occur, but has been slowly working its way toward this present climax. One is reminded of St. Peter when he left Rome, thinking his work was completed. He came upon a fork in the road - two roads leading in opposite directions, although he was not aware where these roads would lead him. He asked Our Lord, "Quo vadis?" (Which way, Lord?) St. Peter chose the road which led him back to Rome, indicating to him that his work in Rome was not complete. It was God's Will that he stay, work and die in the Eternal City.

 

Although many are aware of the events of the last few weeks concerning Obama's Healthcare Plan and the Catholic Church, who are there that understand the life and death consequences of the decisions of the U.S. Catholic hierarchy and the Obama administration? Every American should want to defeat this healthcare plan. Why? These last few weeks have provided an insight. This is about as a Catholic being able to freely practice the Catholic Faith; this is about remaining free as a citizen of the U.S.; this is about whether you will continue to observe the Laws of God, or compromise and follow the Laws of Man.

 

The State does not have the authority to dictate to the Church how it will conduct its affairs. How will the Modernist clergy decide this current issue? They truly have put themselves in a corner because they have compromised the Church's position on contraception and abortion.

 

The question is - which road will you take?

 

Tomorrow's topic will simply be the Church and State, but will involve the current issues - those mentioned as well as others.
