May God bless, protect and strengthen Bishop Strickland and all Catholics who hold fast and “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” Jude 3.

On the acceptance of any new “revelation” contradicting the Word, “For I am the Lord, I change not.” Malachi 3:6.

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. Be not carried about with diverse and strange doctrines.” Hebrews 13:8,9.

Many other passages could be cited. They need to revise or amend or just throw out virtually the entirety of the Bible, so they’ve got their work cut out for them and they are busy about it. The Bible is a hindrance. Just like the US Constitution is a hindrance.

I grew up Catholic in a strange sort of way. I grew up 10 miles north of Boston. My father is a radical leftist who rebelled against his Irish Catholic immigrant parents. My mother - now gone - was a libertine in many ways but tempered by a sense of decorum that came from her Swedish roots (I think). This caused me to be raised as a kid who went to Sunday school but never finished because my parents didn't really care one way or the other. In my adult life, I got myself confirmed but don't go to Sunday services. It's all a bit complicated ans I'm working through it.

What does all this mean? I feel a tug towards the Catholic Church and care what happens to it. This current Pope and what he is trying to do is probably more damaging to the Church than what occurred around Boston when I was a kid. I hope he fails and is run out on a rail.
