Excellent letter, as a devout Catholic I am encouraged by your powerful and concis bute expression of the current situation in our church today. I am praying for you and pray for support of your good and and faithful Holy Priest and Bishops. You truly are a light in an ever discouraging world.

Si vis pacem, para bellum accipite armaturam Dei, hoc est ecclesiae militanti.

As a recovering “liberal Protestant,” and confirmed Catholic I see the Catholic Church taking the same path. We attend a small parish in the Chicago area led by a good Priest whom I feel will be removed because of his outspokenness. His bulletin letter was intercepted and removed because it addressed the topic of gay marriage in a way deemed unacceptable. We also attend a church here in the Dallas area where our good Priest of two years, was suddenly reassigned. And last year the bishop came for the installation of the replacement. The Bishop’s homily was all about the importance of complete obedience. There is a concept of Sobornost in the Eastern churches--I have found that only in a small parish in Irving--a 40 minute drive. We continually search for islands of truth--suspect at some time in near future the church will have to go underground again. Than you for your article, it confirms what I was taught in RCIA about obedience.
