That article was good and I have sent it along to some websites who may also be interested.<br /><br />The Russians are ridding Syria (a land upon which Our Lord once walked) of lunatic murderers, while the Americans are bombing power plants and hospitals - and supplying the terrorists with weapons. <br /><br />FYI: there is an email address at the sidebar which you can use to contact me direct whenever you like.<br />Aged parenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05217229048176272954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-3361096550565690672015-10-24T14:48:34.533-05:002015-10-24T14:48:34.533-05:00Thank you C.H., Elizabeth and Siobhan for your com...Thank you C.H., Elizabeth and Siobhan for your comments.<br /><br />C.H., Kneeling before God whether at Mass or at private prayer is, as you suggest, a way to fight the feeling of helplessness and despair. Actions such as yours do more good than all the so-called "good intentions" of certain Churchmen, who shall remain nameless, put together. <br /><br />Elizabeth, I watched the Michael Matt video. I appreciate your sending it. I'm glad you found Brother Andre's article helpful. I sure did.<br /><br />Siobhan, Thank you for sending the article. You've certainly hit it when you used the word "ignorance". Most Catholics, clergy and laity, are drowning in ignorance...and tolerance. Those twin evils will be the death of us.Aged parenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05217229048176272954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-1912436502454098012015-10-24T14:29:10.632-05:002015-10-24T14:29:10.632-05:00http://www.dici.org/en/news/syria-syrian-bishops-a...http://www.dici.org/en/news/syria-syrian-bishops-approve-the-russian-offensive/<br /><br />AP, the above is for you.

It's excellent as always, but reading the comments are very depressing. The amount of ignorance in this society is astounding. God have mercy on us. <br /><br />https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/10/23/the-synod-has-been-a-sham-faithful-catholic-leaders-should-walk-out/Siobhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02480248372805511882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-10679954638131790652015-10-24T04:25:21.439-05:002015-10-24T04:25:21.439-05:00Good Morning, Aged Parent.

Andre's piece. <br /><br />This came to my Inbox at 3:00am here in Chicago, from Michael Matt (Remnant Videos) in Rome. Utterly depressing. I feel as if kicked in the stomach.
