One Final Word About the Scandal and Then Back to Reflections

The word of the Lord came to me:                                                           
Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel,
in these words prophesy to them to the shepherds:
Thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the shepherds of Israel
who have been pasturing themselves!
Should not shepherds, rather, pasture sheep?
You have fed off their milk, worn their wool,
and slaughtered the fatlings,
but the sheep you have not pastured.
You did not strengthen the weak nor heal the sick
nor bind up the injured.
You did not bring back the strayed nor seek the lost,
but you lorded it over them harshly and brutally.
So they were scattered for the lack of a shepherd,
and became food for all the wild beasts.
My sheep were scattered
and wandered over all the mountains and high hills;
my sheep were scattered over the whole earth,
with no one to look after them or to search for them.


A lamb left out alone outside of the flock and away from the gaze of the shepherd is at great risk for falling prey to the dangers of the world.  God sent us the Good Shepherd and He hand-selected shepherds to help Him save the world and bring everyone into heaven.  

Today, some of our shepherds, the bishops, and cardinals who are the direct descendants of the apostles have taken leave of their sheep to take care of their needs, protecting each other while protecting members of their corps who have actually injured those they were sworn to protect. Even those who have not themselves been physically hurt by these unfaithful ones are spiritually devastated by the betrayal of those that they trusted.

The time for platitudes and strong letters of reproach has come and gone for words are just words. Action by those who are in power must make short work of the hoodlums that infest the curia.  Those that are guilty of abusing anyone of any age in direct violation of their vow of celibacy must be removed from office, be defrocked and then take their place amongst the lambs where they will have no power to do their despicable evil. 

There must be justice for those who have been abused by the wolves in sheep's clothing.  There must be jail time for those who hurt a child of any age by using their authority as a minister of the gospel as a cloak to breach the natural defenses of a child.  These men have no right to be called "father" for they did not act as a father, but acted as a marauder and bully.  They must practice penance for the rest of their days and humbly take the lowest stations in life. 

I will not address the scandal again.  I have used three entries to voice my opinion.  I want you to know that Michael the Lesser is hurt deeply by these renegades.  I love our Church for she is the Bride of Christ and these men have brought her reputation low.  The Catholic Church is the Church that was begun by Christ and He is the owner of it. It is he these heathens will answer to and I pray to the Lord to forgive us all for the sins we have committed against His beautiful bride.  

The Poor Souls are still waiting for your prayers and sacrifices. Do not disappoint them again today.  Say an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be for them, it is the least you can do.  Remember today you are here, tomorrow you may be amongst them and in need of prayer and sacrifice yourself.
