It is the duty of the laity to uphold the faith and demand that dissident bishops and clergy do the same. Unfortunately, we often find they refuse to listen to admonishment and obey Christ, and we share in the frustration of our Holy Father.
Thank you Michael for being such an inspiration to me and my family. I have seen the downfall of society personally in these past 40 years. I became part of it until the Lord called me to a deeper union with Him. I believe He is calling us all. Has there ever been this many people leaving the Church in Her history? Have we ever had so many obstacles to our faith? I believe the "Great Apostasy" is upon us. "If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts"....should be our battle cry today!!
What made me chuckle was when Michael said about Peter being the rock which the church was built on and people cheering. There was an irony here, where this is basic Catholic teaching but people seem to be not hearing it anymore from the pulpit because in my belief a false ecumenism. We have a fantastic faith with a message of eternal life. We do need to to share that message in it's fullness even if we can't say it on Church property! I realize I need to be more evangelizing in my life.
I remember Fulton Sheen telling that story of Peter also,one of my favourite examples of the power and necessity of faith and obedience.Very relevant to Catholics today.God bless.
Thanks for this wonderfully inspiring talk Michael!
