Nihil Obstat Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I'm concerned right this second, but I'm also perfectly confident that these problems will not last. It might take a couple hundred years to fix, but it will be fixed. All in God's time, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Servus_Mariae Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I find myself to be rather optimistic about the state of the Church. Things are finally moving in a very positive direction. We still have kinks to work out...but they are being worked out. So...things are as good as they can be when the spotless bride of Christ is being cared for by sinful and imperfect people.

mortify Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 Is feeling concern a bad thing? Meaning, is it a sin against the Holy Spirit or a sign of despair to have concerns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an addendum to my vote: I do think things are on the upswing as Servus_Maria suggested. It is telling that the majority of the...less than orthodox...priests that I know are older...while the younger ones (though fewer) are exceedingly in line with the Magesterium. I think as time passes things will improve for those people who bother to remain Catholic in this crazy world.

Vincent Vega Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Upbeat. With a guarantee like the one we have, three thousand brigades of slacks-wearing religious attending clownmasses in cathedrals that look more like discothèques than churches, with P&W band of guitars and synthesizers - while indeed less than ideal - could not make me worried.

philothea Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Upbeat. I've seen lots of positive changes since I converted, 17 years ago. And I thought the Church was doing fine back then! Which reminds me, I need to write a letter to my (awesome) Bishop to let him know what a great job the new pastor is doing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
