Paul tells us in the second reading today what that is:
The Spirit of Control So now we come to it now we are counting the ultimate cost:Īnd St. Brace for Impact and Francis and the Great Shipwreck and the abandonment many Catholics feel right now with few shepherds defending them against these wolves of control. (Romans 12:2)Īs a Church, we are collectively experiencing Gethsemane right now: Watch: Our Gethsemane is Here the stripping of our freedoms under the pretense of the “common good” the “kiss of Judas” that says bending to unethical medical mandates is an “act of love” cf. Faith and reason are not opposed:ĭo not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect. And all of this is reasonable and important. What is the first thing we often do? We think of it in terms of what we have to give up, what our pleasures are that we may need to detach from, and even what relationships we have to rescind in order to remain faithful to Jesus. So, Jesus reminds us again in the Gospel that we have to count the cost of what it means to be His disciple. We can add to that list: being banned from restaurants, gyms, grocery stores, France video: Columbia: August 2nd, 2021 travelling, etc. And yet, the Church cannot withdraw from the task of proclaiming Christ and his Gospel as saving truth, the source of our ultimate happiness as individuals and as the foundation of a just and humane society. -POPE BENEDICT XVI, London, England, September 18th, 2010 Zenit In our own time, the price to be paid for fidelity to the Gospel is no longer being hanged, drawn and quartered but it often involves being dismissed out of hand, ridiculed or parodied.

John Hardon (1914-2000), How to Be a Loyal Catholic Today? By Being Loyal to the Bishop of Rome And martyrdom today is not necessarily what it is for our brothers and sisters in the Middle East, Nigeria, etc.
Either they conform to this philosophy or they are faced with the prospect of martyrdom. -Servant of God Fr. Those who challenge this new paganism are faced with a difficult option. The great Servant of God John Hardon once said: The New Paganism – Part III To question these ideologies today has a cost not unlike the above: being de-platformed, dismissed from a career, and public humiliation. Strangely tied to the pandemic response and “climate change” are also “gender” and reproductive “rights”, which are part of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations. Perhaps more crucially is that freedom of religion and truth are under assault. We are in this together, whether jabbed or not. globalnews.ca In a word, whether you are vaccinated or not, all of our freedoms are now vanishing under a health technocracy. And not only for the “unvaccinated.” Many who, in good will, have taken these injections, are now discovering, or about to, that their governments will require them to take additional “booster shots” in order to maintain their vaccine passport “freedoms” - such as in Israel.
Open Letter to the Bishops on the experimental nature of these mRNA injections we do indeed see that “human dignity, individual rights, human rights and the rights of nations” are now on the line. Catholic Online (while several texts do not include the words “Christ versus the anti-Christ”, Deacon Keith Fournier who was in attendance at the Congress, says he heard that statement as above.)Īs vaccine mandates spread across the world forcing tens of thousands of doctors, nurses, pilots, priests, and all manner of workers from their livelihoods because they have refused to become part of a mass experiment, cf. Cardinal Karol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II ), at the Eucharistic Congress, Philadelphia, PA Augcf. …facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel, of Christ versus the anti-Christ… It is a trial… of 2,000 years of culture and Christian civilization, with all of its consequences for human dignity, individual rights, human rights and the rights of nations. John Paul II’s prophecy, while still a cardinal, has now come true. Perhaps at no other time in this generation have so many of us had to truly count the cost of following the Gospel. Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost….? ( Today’s Gospel) Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
