Statues More Important Than People
The real heart of your average Catholic bishop was inadvertently exposed in the Jan 14 issue of the 'San Antonio (Texas) Express-News,' in an article titled, "Worshippers Subdue Man Who Says He Ought to Save Souls at Historic Church."
At a Jan 13 Mass at the San Fernando Cathedral, a man deliberately toppled seven statues. "Some of them split in two, others in dozens of tiny pieces," as the article reported.
The San Antonio archbishop's reaction was also recorded:
"Archbishop Patrick Flores fought to maintain his composure as he described his reaction to seeing seven major statues crumbled on the church's stone floor. They lay prostrate, some without limbs, others without heads...Flores said, 'I got depressed when I saw it, and I couldn't help but cry.'"
Over the past two years thousands of priestly sex-abuse cases have been uncovered - and reported on in many newspaper accounts. Question - Did we ever read of a Roman bishop reacting in such a way to the shattered lives of young people sexually attacked by their priests?
Answer - No.
It's rather obvious that stone, ceramics, and idolatry are more important to the Catholic clergy than the well-being of people. May God open the eyes of many Catholics to the cold stone hearts of their priests, and may they repent of Catholicism and receive Christ by faith ALONE.
