Thanks for your reply.
Perhaps I s...Dear Samson<br /><br />Thanks for your reply. <br /><br />Perhaps I should clarify. By my embarrassment, I mean that it is cringe worthy for me to see bishops and cardinals at this Synod so besmirch the Church and her doctrine right in everyone's face. In a sense I'm ashamed that, as you mention the Protestants and Orthodox, and let me add to that list, the atheists and righteous, those of other faith. That these people may not convert because the Church may seem to be embracing sexual filth or that by not remaining true to perennial teaching that those who would possibly convert only end up mocking the True Church. <br /><br />I'm embarrassed at what these prelates are doing to the Church for the whole world to see.

We converts deal with conflict over fundamental beliefs that go to the core of who we are and how we relate to spouse, children, parents, lifelong friends. These are altered, possibly destroyed, and the edifice of family beneath which those beliefs acted as support must be sustained and / or rebuilt. <br /><br />How does one get from there (outside) to here (inside)? It is not easy for a Cradle Catholic to understand. For me it took literally decades of struggle with my conscience with no support, (no catholic friends at all and lots of anti-catholic bigotry) to guide me but the Still Small Voice.<br /><br />I can guarantee you that muffins and cupcakes and rainbow ponies would have ended my struggle to Truth quickly, dousing the flame of inquiry. What attracted me was just what you said here. Solid, stable doctrine that has 2,000 year roots with lineage to Christ Himself. In brief, it was Pope Benedict XVI who caused my conversion. No band to back him up, lights or fireworks to announce his entrance. He just quietly spoke into the microphone the same truth that all Popes and Shepherds since Peter have all said. Simple. Pure. Power. From Jesus.<br /><br />What holds me here now? Those faithful departed in heaven encouraging me on. And STUNNING videos like this, (courtesy of 1P5):<br /><br />http://www.onepeterfive.com/absolutely-stunning-candlelight-marian-procession/ <br /><br />...... Tears. Yes, there will be those now and in heaven as well. <br /><br />Great article.Aquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691722006352014613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-32930431193593967442015-10-09T16:09:17.863-05:002015-10-09T16:09:17.863-05:00How could anyone ever be "embarrassed" t...How could anyone ever be "embarrassed" to be Catholic??! We should no more be embarrassed today at the sight of what has been predicted for two thousand years, then to be embarrassed than at the sight of a bloodied, mortified Christ walking the Via Dolorosa. <br /><br />If you want to feel ashamed, feel shame for the millions of Protestants who abandoned the real Church, and the prideful Orthodox who did the same. Feel terrified for those souls and for the souls of their counterparts who have intentionally entered our ranks to try to destroy us all.<br />And lets not forget the Moneychangers who are usually found to be behind every evil on earth.<br /><br />Man emotions to feel, but embarrassment is not one of them. Buck up, Damask Rose! We are the good guys and we get to win!

For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh." (Matthew 18:7)<br /><br />Let us not forget, though, the effects of grace and its absolute necessity in the process of conversion and perseverence. Saint Dismas looked at the pathetic figure of our Lord (yes, <i><a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pathetic" rel="nofollow">pathetic</a></i> and asked for a place in His Kingdom. He did not have the benefit that the Centurion had, of witnessing the calamities at Our Lord's death and his crying out "with a loud voice" — which the Centurion would have known to be <i>impossible</i> for a victim of crucifixion when he is about to die. <br /><br />Saint Dismas saw in the bloodied, bruised, and despised Jesus, not "a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people" (Ps. 21:7), but the very King of Kings, the Son of God, and the Savior of the world. That was the Grace of God working on a soul of good will. <br /><br />The Church is bloodied and humiliated today by Her enemies, external and (mostly) internal, but her unity, holiness, catholicity, and apostolicity are still to be seen for all who have good will. Supernatural faith, a gift of God's grace, is the key.Brother André Marie, M.I.C.M.http://catholicism.org/author/bamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-67585478414542538472015-10-09T10:20:34.807-05:002015-10-09T10:20:34.807-05:00I don't think I have ever felt so embarrassed ...I don't think I have ever felt so embarrassed to be a Catholic as I am now.<br /><br />My worry with this Annulment Motu Proprio is that due to the shortage of priests, and the permissibility that Bishops can delegate their powers to others, is that the laity will (of course) be marrying each other, divorcing each other and then granting annulments to each other. That clerical, I mean priests and not deacons (though I understand that deacons can be on the Tribunals) input will be minimal.<br /><br />Keep up the good work Aged Parent, you've written some great posts just reading and scrolling through :-).<br />Damask Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903564104733536123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-59950239590406787762015-10-09T09:41:29.886-05:002015-10-09T09:41:29.886-05:00The Dalai-Lamasization of the Catholic ChurchThe Dalai-Lamasization of the Catholic ChurchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-44200005888016883992015-10-09T09:14:13.975-05:002015-10-09T09:14:13.975-05:00Imagine how Joseph Schiambra and Alan Yoshioka, th...Imagine how Joseph Schiambra and Alan Yoshioka, the first being once a man trapped in the gay lifestyle, occult and pornography and the latter an gay acivist, who now have completely come to Christ and work in His vineyard for souls, must feel. <br /><br />Or those who have crossed the Tiber through the Ordinariate only to find what they left.<br /><br />God help us, please.Vox Cantorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16987049370515084083noreply@blogger.com
