Are you Fallen Away
From our Clergyman, It's Too Little Too Late
All of a sudden, the bishops seem to be concerned about Biden's position on political issues. All of a sudden there seem to be statements coming from the USCCB about Biden's pro-abortion agenda and his ambitious efforts to squash religious freedom, and the ability of faithful Catholics to actually act according to their consciences. Of course the problem is, Joe Biden doesn't know what a well and truly formed conscience is. He is under the spell of Satan and the tyranny that ill-formed consciences racked with pride and ego exhibit. This has been a part of Joe Biden all along, it is how he has conformed himself to his own brand of truth under the guise of Catholicism, but his action doesn't represent anything close to what true Catholicism stands for or teaches. It does represent what a multitude of fake and pseudo-catholics represent. A religion of one's own making and conforming to one's own desires and agendas. It is a religion that is bathed in pride, egotism, arrogance and self indulgence. It is a way of life that leads to perdition, and there seems to be many along for the ride with Joe Biden.
How is it that people who claim to be Catholic can steer so far off course? How is it that these "Catholics" bask in their self indulgent ways and seem to fantasize they are actually doing the Lord's work and acting for the good? Or do they? Satanism is on the rise for sure, and it is becoming mainstream. We see this in popular shows like The Good Witch and movies like Harry Potter, where the occult are glorified and twisted to appear good and just but are anything but. Practices like yoga and psychic mediums are popular past times, and immoral lifestyles such as LGBTQ and transgenderism are trendy.
How the heck did we get here? How did America become a society that trashes statues of her founders and Saints, and then idealizes crooks and evildoers? How have we lost any sense of right and wrong, and how have so many become so oblivious to what Truth really is? Well, the same bishops who stood by saying nothing before the election and even promoted heretical Catholics are the same bishops who let the church slide into irreverence and poor catechesis, and allowed the Church of Nice to rule. The bishops that turned a blind eye to so many sins, and then denied Truth to gain popularity and career advancement, or in an effort to maintain and further immoral lifestyles of their own. Immorality increases and grows when there is a lack of those who actually fight against it. When those in leadership positions whose purpose is to support and spread Truth lay down on the job, well then those who want to destroy it have full access and opportunity.
Now, it's too little too late, if the bishops really cared in the first place. Perhaps all this banter is for show, it certainly wasn't present when it actually could have done some good and prevented the evil from taking a firm root and running over the sheep. Perhaps they were lulled into deception, and are now realizing the fault of their duplicity. I don't know, but they have lost credibility and effectiveness. The sheep no longer look to their shepherds for guidance and protection. The laity has finally discovered that it will be they who save the Church, not the Bishops or clergy.
So, perhaps they should save their high and mighty condemnation of actions detrimental to the faithful. It's way too little too late, and we have their number. Because of that I for one, will pray without ceasing for them, for their repentance and hopefully penance. Salvation is all that matters, and it isn't too late for them. It isn't too late for anyone. For some though, time is running out, and the further and deeper one falls into the abyss the more difficult to drag the way out. A wake up call is needed, and fast. Stupid declarations to appear in alignment with Christ, won't save anyone from the world, but true and public contrition, relationship and surrender could possibly save many from the eternal darkness.

About the Author
I am a wife and mother of two grown sons. Although I am Cradle Catholic, I experienced a profound reversion to the True faith several years ago that motivated and inspired me to dive more deeply into an understanding of the Church and Her teachings, and why She has these teachings and where they come from. Surprisingly, for me, the more I read and discovered, the deeper my love of the Catholic Church and her teachings became. This certainly is a journey that doesn't end, and so as I uncover more amazing facts about our Faith and Church, I just can't help but want to share what I'm learning. So, I began writing for Catholic 365.
I have recently served for a year and a half as the Executive Director of a very active and busy Crisis Pregnancy Center on the West side of Cincinnati. God is so good and does answers prayers, even though He knows at times, we have no idea what we are asking for. The pro life cause is paramount to our times, I am so honored and humbled to have had the experience and opportunity to serve women and the unborn in this capacity! I am also very grateful to God, for allowing me to see for myself, that perhaps such a calling was not His long term plan for me. We go where God seeminly calls us, and for me, that was a return to corporate America. I currently work as a recruiter and sales onboarding specialist where I am helping a Franchising company open and support small businesses that serve seniors and the elderly, giving them opportunities to age in place and live thier final chapters with dignity. It is the other end of the pro life spectrum and such an amazing endeavor!
I love being able to share this great faith of ours and use this platform as a way to express my deep love and devotion to our Lord. We need each other, and this effort has truly become a wonderful way to connect with all of you- my brothers and sisters in Christ!
