mortify Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 I think most are upbeat for two reasons: 1. Because we must be, otherwise we are saying something is not right with the Church, and we know that can't be possible (right?) 2. Everything will get better in the end, no matter how bad things may be this is the Church of Christ and He will save us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark of the Cross Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 We should have no concern at all, knowing full well that everything that happens has Gods MARK on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kafka Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 In general not good. The serious sins of Catholics are the cause for all the ills in the world today since we are meant to be the salt and the light and we are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resurrexi Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) Things are getting better. Five years ago nobody would have dreamed that every priest of the Western Church would be allowed to celebrate the ancient Roman Liturgy.

Apotheoun Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I voted "upbeat," but had the first question been focused upon catechesis in the Roman Church in America (and some other Western countries) I probably would have voted "concerned."

jeffpugh Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I first thought concerned, but then I thought that the winds are changing, so "upbeat". It was a difficult question though, because it is very open ended, as Apo is alluding to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N/A Gone Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I think we need to properly implicate Vat II. Issues such as Libertarian Theology shows an improper reading of Gaudium. issues of the liturgy, personal holiness and the responsibility of the laity just seems to me that we have not yet realized the proper direction of Vat II. People need to read more good theology. Good theology. Yes, Good theology. Lets bring some Augustinians into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudate_Dominum Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I think the Church needs to get out of the dark ages and focus on the Cosmic Christ and his ecological passion.

N/A Gone Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thanks Buddy (btw, after mucho protest I still need to go to FUS for 3 weeks this summer.

mortify Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Just because Jesus' Church is indestructible it doesn't mean we can sit back and do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sternhauser Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) As I heard someone once say, "Sometimes an entire generation must spend 40 years and die in the desert before the people finally reach the Promised Land." The past 40 (60) years has been that desert. ~Sternhauser Edited December 6, 2009 by Sternhauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zunshynn Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 concerned, I guess, but not worried. This too shall pass. And this (whatever that is) has been good for us, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleros Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 In Ireland? We are seeing the pits of hell. See [url="http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com"]http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com[/url] There is no place now for complacency. The Church here is crashing and burning.
