In one sense I agree with this article, but yet I also disagree!!!!! Jesus, when asked, said that the greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, mind and will (another translation says heart, mind and strength), and to love our neighbor as yourself. Notice Jesus puts God absolutely first. Putting God and loving God first means putting His Word, His truth and His will totally first. Starting with our present Pope and continuing on with many cardinals, bishops and priests and lay folks, sin and evil is being promoted in our Church! I am not talking about my likes, my opinions. I am speaking about the word and will of God being thwarted and rejected by those who should know better. It very clear from the Bible, Tradition and Church Fathers that many of our leaders have gone against the will of God and chosen the will of man to please the world. Paul came agaist Peter and confronted him to his face. St Catherine confronted the Pope of her day and took him to task along with bishops and priests. Hildegard also confronted Church authorities. Joshua stated boldly "as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord"! We not only have the right, we have the duty to confront our leaders when they have gone astray. Otherwise we are playing on satan's side, playing his game and promoting his agenda! We must pray for wisdom, discerment, humility and courage which the Holy Spirit will gives us if we ask! We can't always go along to get along!!!!
