Amid The Cleansing Of The Church, Now Is The Critical Time “to Be Found Faithful”

September 10, 2018

A rare gift is to be the pastor of a parish, and one of its greatest benefactions is a fatherly part in the lives of so many people.  One thinks of the film “Good bye Mr. Chips” when the venerable schoolmaster sees in his memory’s eye all the lads he had taught over generations.  That is why at each Mass...

By Fr. George W.

Special to the Catholic Business Journal, writen by grandson of Chicago Times founder.   Much of the mainstream media has disgraced itself in recent years. It has been focused on manipulation by engaging in tactics to "normalize" those who disagree with their points of view by targeting, freezing, personalizing, and polarizing.
