When you look at the history of the entire Church as a whole. You realize that the evil one has spent countless hours and countless generations trying to destroy what cannot be destroyed. For with Christ we will always stand strong and firm. Scandals and misdeeds have always had some kind of role to play in our history. People who became corrupt with power and at times abused it. Often in many ways that sets our hearts on fire with righteous anger. Yet though out our history we have remained strong. No matter what has taken place the Church remains as it always has been. The pillar on which our foundation is built on.
With in the last twenty years. More and more stories have been filling
the papers about various abuses with in the Catholic Church. It seems
you cannot go a full day with out some new report coming out. Such news
can be heart breaking and can make us question why remain Catholic. To
be sure such questions rattle us to our very soul. But when you look at
those who do stay. You see a common thread. We believe in what the
Gospel teaches us. We believe in the traditions handed down to us from
the days of Christ. These are elements of the Catholic faith that go
deeper than the buildings we go to. Than the Priests that lead us. While
they are indeed our shepherds to guide us. It is Christ above all else
that sustains us. For a Catholic the most important part of why we
believe is in the words Christ: This is by Body. This is my Blood. The
Eucharist is something the evil one does not want people to have. Though
out history the evil one has gone out of his way to try and ruin what
Christ has built for us. Corrupting many souls along the way. Yet
generations later we still are here. Not destroyed or ruined. Our faith
should always be deeper than the foundations of the buildings. For
Christ has already won the victory. Scandals will rock us to our core.
But no matter what. We shall remain strong as ever.
