Sins of omission indeed. How can the Church be cleaned up if we ignore the blatant heresies being shoved in our faces? Heresies that are not promoted in darkened church basements, but on publicly accesible video by a NYC Church, the NYC Archdiocese and the Archbishop? How bold they are to think they can get away with this. To ignore this would be insane. I'm sick of the misuse of the word charity and I'm sick of misguided compassion.
Has Dolan commented yet? The silence is deafening.
You are making a difference. Following your superb example in my own rural way, I purchase 15 minutes (for $25.00 per broadcast) and created the Catholic Home Mission Broadcast on our local gospel radio station - 1160 AM Wednesdays 9:30 AM WJFJ Columbus, NC (wjfjradio. com live streaming). I recite the Holy Office, include a prayer for the Holy Father and a selection from Clement XI, plus a reading from Scripture. Since I'm not a theologian, I recite only. God bless your example, be safe
Michael you look sincerely beaten while doing this. One can tell it was done prayerfully and you are tired and hurt as you call out for renewal. God bless
Michael, Exposing, as you said " charity as an excuse for cowardliness" is absolutely true. I wish that some of our bishops and priests could have the opportunity to view these clips and realizing that the church and the lay people are on to them.
@isaie2222 I agree -- Some of us have called for viewers of the Vortex (like myself) to email these to your parish priests and pastors. It needs to be done. It lets them know we have it and the laity understand what is happening. Most parishes have email addresses listed. The problem is the Priests think we are in the dark - that we don't get it.
@dialyt55 Yes! And again, I have written this before as have others... just continue to email the Vortexes to your parish priests and pastors. All parishes have email addresses listed. They will soon come to understand that the laity GET IT, and we have had it. If we leave things as it stands they think we have no clue.
2089 Incredulity is the neglect of revealed truth or the willful refusal to assent to it. "Heresy is the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and catholic faith, or it is likewise an obstinate doubt concerning the same; apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; schism is the refusal of submission to the Roman Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him."
it is strange to say the least that gays have the audacity to march in the parade under the guise of being Catholic but even more sad that this type of thing goes on and is blessed by our silence
That's right. the evil-doers, those who promote sin, use the lie of saying that it is uncharitable to expose their errors, Sins can be of omission, silence, as well as commission. This is especially true for the clergy. As one priest told me, when the Church goes down, it's always an inside job.

@1600ny We believe Dolan may have commented (not directly to us). We are verifying the statement and (if it is accurate) we will be publishing it.

Unfortunately there will always be Judas(es) in our church. This will never go away.

Great stuff Michael. I wish there was a way to *ahem* force the people who need to watch these videos, to watch them.

In the Catechism we read:
2089 Incredulity is the neglect of revealed truth or the willful refusal to assent to it. "Heresy is the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and catholic faith, or it is likewise an obstinate doubt concerning the same; apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; schism is the refusal of submission to the Roman Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him."
Is it really apostasy?
