FROM PARAGRAPH 169 of ENCYCLICAL LETTERLAUDATO SI’ OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS ON CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME
A Post Made by Pat Alfaro about a Post By St. Mary’s Cathedral School Just A Few Days After she was CANCELED as the Cafeteria Manager Appearing in the photo are St. Mary’s Students Whom Ms. Pat Served and Her Former Co-WorkersNotice on The Door to a Confessional at the Cathedral FYI: Confessions are Scheduled from 5:30-7pm Each Wednesday and the Sod Poodle Baseball Game Starts at 7pm Isn’t Sacrament of Penance time sacred enough that the priests could be a bit late for the Sod Poodles❓
Am I not, as one of the baptized in the Diocese of Amarillo, an extension of Bishop Zurek; and cannot this be said more for the one who is principal of my parish’s Catholic school, even more for the principal’s priest, and greater even for a priest who is rector of the Cathedral; so should I just sing to God if my conscience tells me that Bishop Zurek, governing with clericalism, does not seek what is above, and His Excellency, by way of rectors, priests, principals and other baptized, is thinking he can have people and Sacraments canceled; and should I care if in the process a rector (Msgr. Colwell), priest (Fr. Roy), principal (Lydia O’Rear), baptized (Pat Alfaro) and Sacraments are canceled; can’t I simply believe that it is all just trouble with which I will have to put up with until Bishop Zurek’s resignation is accepted and thus let His Excellency live peacefully in his world and I in mine; or should I take my responsibility as a baptized Catholic seriously and find true peace by taking courage and believing Jesus has conquered the world ❓…
…for how can I require the worldwide Church to address the grave violations of human dignity that are particularly relevant today…
… unless I require of myself, however low on the pecking order I am, the honesty, courage and responsibility needed to challenge the venial violations of human dignity present in my local Church and the part of creation in my care, …
…because after all, doesn’t even the rooster of the flock have to be fed the truth by someone❓
