With all the buzz on the blogosphere over a prominent blogger who has left the Church, I want to express once more why I stay Catholic, and love the Church. I featured this video from the Evangelical Catholicism blog a couple of months ago:
The people who make up the Church (including me) are not perfect- with the exception of Jesus, her Head. I know it seems as though we have wolves and snakes in place of shepherds from what you hear in the media, but this, too will pass. It is my hope and prayer that the young men entering seminaries now are men of moral integrity who understand the meaning of the priesthood and who are willing to be real men!
"Name one church where every elder and every parishioner is perfect and sinless, and I'll sign up...I stay Catholic because the teaching is perfect, and that helps me to pray for those who aren't...People like me." - Andy Farmer from Kathryn Lively's book Pithed.
Dwight Longnecker shares some beautiful reflections in this post.
Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death -Amen!
p.s.- The video will be featured on EWTN's Life on the Rock on Wed, October 26th.
pp.s - apparently the date and time the video will Air on Life on the Rock has changed, check the Evangelical Catholicism blog for updates.
