Quick thoughts

I would like to jot down some of the things that are going on upstairs.
Truth. Do you love truth. Do you hate evil. Do you hate the schism or the schismatic. Do you love your local ordinary, or do you hate him. Do you love the Bishop of Rome or do you hate him. If one says that attending an SSPX Mass can fulfill your Sunday obligation, and it is not a sin to go there, and the other says you can't go there because he doesn't like Tradition, who do you believe? (I'll give you a hint, if you're Roman Catholic, you believe the Pope.) Tradition has been all but outlawed. But it is worse. It is tolerated. It is the ugly stepchild. It is not worth your time to read Open Letter to Confused Catholics, Timebombs of the Second Vatican Council, or even a Novus Ordo book Ecumenical Council Vatican II; a much needed discussion, written by Monsignor Gherardini in Rome, because if you do you will not be open to the Holy Spirit. You will be a bad Catholic. You wont even be Catholic, because it is schism to question the local priests. It is "pompous to think you know better than the Pope."
Open a book, its out in the open. Open Catholic Code of Cannon Law, soften your heart and your mind, and let God work. Love God, and hate what offends him. Do not remain ignorant. Do not think what you don't know wont hurt you. It is a tremendous disservice to God if you choose to blindly be a yes-man your whole life. God will not be fooled. If you can read this, 1. You can read, God has given you the gift of literacy, use it to get smarter/more informed. 2. You have the internet. 3. You have the names of three books that will make you love Jesus more.
Are you a Catholic to fit in? It sure would be a lot easier. Or are you a Catholic to worship God in the most and pleasing manner possible, so that He might be glorified more than ever. Dont be scared to be persecuted for justices sake...there is a second part to that beatitude.
