Holy Week, Admirable Vocation & Dolan
Admiration for the Single Vocation
I had fallen behind with my reading of TIA articles, and recently appreciated deeply the series on the single vocation. I have been shocked by the numerous attacks and accusations made against its authors and the valid, thought-provoking points contained in it.
How can it be that those who consider themselves “traditional” feel compelled to accuse St. John Chrysostom of heresy? How is it they feel obligated to accuse TIA of spreading lies and suggest that you remove those brilliantly-written articles??
A cursory review of Spirago & Clark’s Catechism Explained states the obvious quite succinctly, and if anyone who doubts the authenticity of the concepts presented would take it upon themselves to look into the matter, it would be clear that you are only expounding on God's Truth.
Have those who consider themselves “traditional” lost their way, too? Have they forgotten to study the Faith? The lack of obedience to the Truth of this matter disturbed my sense of peace very, very much. I thought the readers of TIA were a group of people who wish to be obedient children of Jesus and Mary, but even among us there are “loose links” … Do they not remember that the chain of our armour is only as strong as the individual links? I pray for TIA and its readers every day and I will not stop doing so because it has become obvious that there are at least some among us who need the strength of grace to be obedient lovers of God’s Truth, the only Truth that matters, the Catholic Truth.
I sincerely hope that this matter can be laid to rest, and that any further articles help all of us see more clearly the devastation of the original sin and how awful sin is in God’s eyes, but also that we acquire both a deeper understanding regarding the beauty of, and admiration for, the single vocation, one it seems few are willing to fulfill to the depths of their souls.
I pray, also, for the writers and contributors of TIA, as it is undeniably true that the pen is mightier than the sword, and in such times as these, where the Devil’s lies are almost everywhere, we need the Truth more than ever. One place to which I look for direction is TIA. Thank you for all you are doing for those of us who seek the Truth, and want, more than anything, to be obedient lovers of God, Mary, Jesus and all the saints.
Your faithful friend in the Faith, and with continued prayers for all who are linked to TIA, even those unbelievers and scoffers,
E.S., Ph.D.

I Am Appalled
Re: Dolan with Homosexual Irish PM
I am appalled with this horrible scene of Cardinal Dolan at the St. Patrick's Day Parade and greeting a known homosexual. Shame on all involved in this promotion of evil!
The boy under the Cardinal's arm is his nephew, it was reported in the Irish news sites.
What a bad example he is giving to an impressionable youth. Where are the parents of his nephew?

Dolan Preying on a Child
Re: Dolan with Homosexual Irish PM
This is incredible!
Right in front of our faces, Dolan is showing off his child prey.
Concerning TIA's past analyses of facial expressions, the eyes and personal demeanor, Cardinal Dolan is a good case study.
He's often photographed with his mouth open, laughing uncontrollably.
It would not surprise me if this behavior is an overt sign that he's demonically possessed?
God bless you and may Our Lady protect us.
F.S.

Disgusting
Re: Dolan with Homosexual Irish PM
What is most disturbing about these pictures is the young boy in the claws of Cardinal Dolan. He appears to be the same boy in a second picture directly below the first, where he is again being pawed by the Cardinal. Where are that poor boy’s parents?
Disgusting!
P.D.

Greatly Disturbed
Re: Dolan with Homosexual Irish PM
What also disturbed me greatly about the pictures was that the altar boy, who gets crushed as the two meet, is also seen in the street with the Cardinal who has his arm around him. In both pictures, he keeps this boy rather close.

No Resurrection without the Cross
Today, Sunday, March 25, 2018 A.D., is the beginning of Holy Week where the Passion of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, True God and True Man, is commemorated in Churches and Homes throughout Christendom. It is well to remember that what looked like was going to be the darkest week in the History of the World turned out to be Almighty God's ultimate Triumph over death brought into the world by the father-of-lies. There could be no Resurrection without the Cross, a message for us all in these troubled times in which we live. And without the Resurrection there would be no Christian Faith.
So let us persevere and stand true to our beliefs so that we can say what Saint Paul did in his Second Epistle to Timothy Chapter 4 for the sake of the survival of a Free America UNDER God and a Free world depending upon that survival!
[1] I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom: [2] Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine. [3] For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears: [4] And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables. [5] But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill thy ministry. Be sober.
[6] For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand. [7] I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.

I hope you and your readers will like this video on Andalucia’s processions of the Holy Week. Although the movie director takes some shots to stress/ridicule the pain of the participants – an implicit criticism of the “fanaticism” of the Spaniards and the “primitivism” of the Catholic Faith that inspires it – the ensemble is worth watching to see the Faith that still lives in Spain.
It is a lesson for us Americans. Compared to such a demonstration of Faith and great certainty those people have of the existence of Heaven, how petty our materialist/technological horizon appears with all the gadgets we have invented!
Anyway, it is a good thing to watch in Holy Week.
Best regards,
E.J.
