A Shining Priest in a Sea of Memo Writers for God

A Shining Priest in a Sea of Memo Writers for God….When priests stand tall, the memo writers shrink to size.

Just yesterday, EWTN was lit up in a #MolueMonologue. You may read it here: False Faith, True Darkness: REVELATIONS — The Apocalypse of Christian Heresy

Bottom line: the kingdom of God is slowly but surely rising up.

These are the kinds of priests the early Church Fathers had in mind when they institutionalized the faith. If you’ve read Church history, you’ll understand why that step was absolutely necessary.

I came across a fascinating account describing a “wild marketplace for Christian literature” in the early centuries. This chaotic flood of writings was one of the driving forces behind councils such as Hippo and later Trent, where the canonical books of the Bible were set.

Here’s are 2 point within the point—worth pondering:

1. The kingdom of God has always suffered violence. Should I mention that today, the same violence often comes at the hands of Magamaniacs—among them self-important priests and media organizations? Or should I stay quiet, lest this digression obscure the point?

2. Those who fold their arms at heresies in the Church—masking their lack of fortitude with the tired refrain, “Let God be the judge. We cannot judge! Perhaps God is using these devious, manifestly anti–fruits-of-the-Spirit personages in ways beyond our ken…”

…They forget one thing - that the very Bible in their hands already stands as a witness against them!

Against their lukewarmness.

Against their spiritual lassitude.

Think about it. No cars. No trains. No planes. Yet the Fathers of the Church still traveled to far-flung places—even by today’s standards—to sit in council and set forth the boundaries of the faith we now take for granted - or worse, reduce in some sects to a mere business transaction with God).

A Shining Light

This Catholic priest, therefore, is a bright candle in a swamp of lukewarm witnesses—the kind who speak the Word of God as if they’re God’s secretaries, drafting His intentions for Him every morning.

Some, despite being trained in the highest traditions of theology, now treat salvation like a dusty diploma—hung on the wall, never worked out in real life.

And the rest of the “memo writers for God”? They’re not theologians at all—just TV pundits, some in clerical collars, who mistake hobnobbing with hifalutin Bible scholars for the path to salvation, while scribbling divine “press releases” for the evening news.

So?

So pray for priests such as this…They represent the best of what the Church Fathers intended when they institutionalized our great faith because, as I wrote yesterday, “Existing in a loud, pseudo-religious ecosystem has its perils.”



Or as the Bible puts it in KJV;

“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.”

Other translations

NIV: Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character.

ESV: “Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company ruins good morals.’”

What priest am I talking about? I’m talking about a priest who’s confident enough in the God he serves to sit next to Louis Farrakhan.

I’m talking about Father Pleger.
