I agree Ms. Cote. “What we do need is solid preaching, teaching Catholic doctrine from the pulpit.” So let’s hear it regularly on abortion until we need to hear it no more because it will have become illegal again.

Completely agree. The Holy Catholic Church has the complete truth, intact, given to us by Jesus Himself. Other Christian religions do have some truth but as you said, have modified His teaching to accommodate today’s lifestyles. What we do need is solid preaching, teaching Catholic doctrine from the pulpit. Sunday after Sunday. These past 2 generations are unschooled in Catholic teaching so it’s not entirely their fault though I suspect, when they deviate from the natural law, unless their conscience is dead, they would sense that something is wrong.

“Only the Catholic Church can save a man from the degrading slavery of being a child of his time.” -GK Chesterton (1874-1936)-
……………………………………………………………………………….
The criticisms of Cardinal Martini are regrettable. They are truly not excusable because he had a left-wing reputation, was a Jesuit, was old (85) and was very sick.
Saying the Church is “200 years behind the times” is certainly, on his part, an understatement. They are 2000 years “behind the times”. Her teachings, like her Founder, are “ever new; ever old”. They are a part of objective morality which can never change. These are not rules made by men. So, the Church has no ability to alter natural law nor divinely revealed laws. They remain true and binding in every generation.
If the teachings of our Church were to be changed according to the times, we, as Catholics, could have no confidence in them nor assurance that objective morality was permanent, and so would “do as we please” presuming that God`s commandments were going to change sometime at the whim of a “contemporary” relativistic Church.
When one`s personal views are at variance with the Church’s actual teachings there is no point in being Catholic
This is why we have today 40,000 [!] Protestant denominations, each of which has put its own interpretation on the Word of God to bring it “up to date”.
Other denominations have modified their teachings to accommodate the permissive ethos that dominates modern secular culture, but the Catholic Church is the guardian of and preserves the teaching of Jesus and the early Christians.
Cardinal Martini proved himself to be no more than a modernist dissident who betrayed the position of trust he had vowed to honour. He was a shepherd in wolves clothing.
Our Divine Lord founded His Church to teach His Commandments until the end of time (Matt 28: 18-20).
God is from everlasting. His laws,both natural and divine are precious permanent gifts which, if followed, allow one to be free, and to achieve happiness now and for eternity!

The Catholic Church’s view and many Catholics is that if you agree with abortion and homosexuality but do a few good things like give money to the poor, then basically you’re doing some good. But in whose name are they giving to the poor? I’ve spoke with the archdiocese about St. Joseph’s and they’re afraid to do anything there because they’re doing some “god” and they don’t want to lose parishioners.

Fr. Rosica liek all priests and minsiters will be judged at a higher level.
