I sometimes get saddened and confused by those Catholics who
disagree with Church teaching. In
part, I have had the blessing to study the teachings, theology and philosophy
of the Church and see how it is seeping with love and mercy.
Fr. Rich and I have preached several times that the
Church is not one voice among many valid opinions. When the Church speaks she speaks the truth in the midst of many opinions. Our trust and preaching is based in the truths expressed in
our first reading. St. Paul writes,
if there is any encouragement in
Christ, any
solace in love, any participation in the Spirit, any
compassion and mercy, complete my joy by being of the
same mind, with the same love, united in heart, thinking one thing.
The Church desires unity, particularly in faith and morals
both in house and in society. We
pray this morning that we may all may grow more deeply in unity in the Body of
Christ.
