DAY 33 - MARY, MORNING STAR, PRAY FOR US
UNITY IN TRUTH
Devil's Tactic #2 - Divide and Conquer

The second modern tactic of the devil is actually the very ancient military strategy of "divide and conquer." This strategy is defined as one that separates a force that would be stronger if united… If the enemy can separate us into small units or individuals, he can more easily defeat each one.

"Strike the shepherd and the sheep scatter" (Zec 13:7). There's no doubt that the devil has focused his assault on the religious leaders of our day. While these leaders may have had noble intentions of charity and pastoral sensitivity, the results have been devastating. Decades of lenient, non-confrontational leadership have left the faithful feeble and prone to be "conformed to the pattern of this world" (Rom 12:2). St. Augustine once said, "Charity is no substitute for justice withheld."

The unfortunate laxity of discipline has permitted confusion and strife where there should be clarity and harmony, an authentic unity based on the truth. As a result, the modern trend among those who believe and teach falsehoods that directly contradict the Church's teaching is to consider these pockets of dissent as merely "differing tribes" within the Catholic Church. In this deceptive tribal system, those who believe in and teach all that the Church teaches are then considered extreme among these tribes.

Right or wrong, religious leadership seemed to calculate that it is better to refrain from "charged issues" for fear of offending some or even losing members. However, St. Peter Canisius cautioned: "Better that only a few Catholics should be left, staunch and sincere in their religion, than that they should, remaining many, desire as it were to be in collusion with the Church's enemies and in conformity with the open foes of our faith." (Excerpt from Church Militant Field Manual).

LONG ISLAND, NY: Catholic Priest, Fr. Joseph Wilson, Reflects on his Church's Betrayal of the Faith "So this really is no surprise to me at all. The Church took a wrong turn in the 1960s. The results have been catastrophic."
How to move forward?
"It really is not very difficult...[Saint Teresa d'Avilla in 'The Way of Perfection' said we must create]...oases where Jesus can find welcome and rest and home in a world which has forgotten Him." Fr. Wilson quotes Anglican Bishop John Allin, who while commenting on his work to prevent the breakup of the Episcopal Church during the seventies said "I have loved the Church more than the Lord of the Church." We need to love the Lord first! Hat tip Br. Paul for this

The Marian Response to the Scandal of Sin is to pray the rosary

College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, published a "wedding" photo of two women wearing white gowns in its official magazine, Holy Cross.
Please:
Join me in urging Holy Cross to uphold true marriage and issue a correction.
For three reasons:
Reason #1: Stop contradicting God. God's marriage is only between one man and one woman. Homosexual unions are unnatural and 100% sterile and deprive children of their biological mothers or fathers.

Reason #2: Stop undermining moral values. Morality is the keystone of the family and society. If our Catholic universities no longer teach the truth -- in word and deed -- where will the next generation go to learn the truth?

Reason #3: Stop confusing students. By publishing a photo of a same-sex couple in its magazine, Holy Cross legitimizes sin, undermines Holy Matrimony, and causes scandal and confusion.
Please protest here.
