| "Life is a cabaret old chum....." |
I have lost count of the number of good priests I have seen hounded out of the priesthood because of their orthodox stance. I am sure many good nuns joined their ranks also.
The HR department of Social Services and the Probation Service owe a great debt to Vatican II and all that has happened since, as so many priests have taken up posts in those areas.
Fr Ray Blake carries a post that epitomises the wholesale abuses that are, apparently ignored by Rome, while the good Friars are hung out to dry for offering the Mass of all Time.
It reminded me of the Weimar Republic (not that I remember it you understand?). A period of degeneracy and over indulgence when the lines of morality and decency were scuffed out in favour of debauchery and behaviour more fitting of over sexed ferrets.
You may see Fr Ray's post HERE.
As Father Z recently posted, 'and then there were nun.'
ReplyDelete'Life is a cabaret' - satan's little helpers really must have been under the whip to come up with that disinspiration. I wouldn't mind so much if life were a cabernet, but given that the reality is that this life is the valley of the shadow of death, a little fear and trembling is not inappropriate; in fact a constant avalanche of glee is highly suspect.
I shall try to live up to life being like a Cabernet! Thank you Viterbo.
