Strangely enough I attended Corpus Christi church in Auburndale last year and the Jesuit priest gave a sermon based on....Anthony De Mello's writings. I got to see firsthand the shenanigans that pass for catholicism in some parts of Boston.

But the Greatest Amnesty is the Sacrifice of Christ who paid our debt, who stepped in front of the bullet to save us. “By His stripes we are healed.” We were under a sentence of death—but the amnesty of Calvary has spared us.”

wow, what a twisting of the sacrafice that Christ made. Unbelievable Cardinal Sean.

By the way, this is my fifth time asking you for some leadership on the issue of abortion: when are you going to speak out about the many “pro-choice” catholic politicians in the state of massachusetts and how they shouldn’t be receiving communion ?

This is my last post and I know now that I will not get an answer…….

Oh God, if my Catholic Bishop will not speak up for the unborn, who will!!!

I’ve been a follower of yours for quite some time and have learned a great deal about service to God’s children through you. I am, God willing, going to be ordained a deacon in the diocese of Springfield MA this December. I listened intently to your homily from the ordination and marveled at your ability to speak with clarity the mission of the Church’s ordained. Please know that I continue to work for His people and consider you to be a living example of Jesus in my life.

Peace

Now I am Catholic. Circumstances allow me to attend mass once a week, Sundays, at 6 pm at St Mary's in Hanover. If you have not yet been, I hope you will not deprive yourself of the experience. Peace - LW Cardinal Sean,

The visit of the heart of the Cure of Ars last year was a great blessing, I believe. In Kansas, a bishop held a diocese-wide monthlong novena and a pilgrimage for the intention of gaining new vocations. What do you think of that?

I listened and read your two sermons in this week's blog. I was very deeply moved by your words. What came to my mind was the story in the scriptures of two disciples on the road to Emmaus. After breaking bread with the stranger who revealed Himself as Jesus and then vanishing, the disciples said, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?" Thank you for this website and including us in your Ministry. God bless. Catherine Dear Cardinal Sean,
