On today’s episode, Steve talks about the rising tide of homosexual perversion, and the failure of most of our shepherds to address it – leaving us to do it for them.

A legitimate pope is leading people astray? That makes no Catholic sense.
Historically, yes. We just haven’t seen It in our lifetime. Looking for an Athanasius to lead the resistance.
food for the journey. Thanks Steve!
Thanks. You’ve said what I am thinking (and saying too)
There is no cause for discouragement. We should be joyful that we are suffering and we will definitely suffer even more. Think only of how much Christ suffered for us! Are we not asked to suffer as Christ suffered, if we love Him? Satan wants us to be discouraged so rise up against him and live in joyful embrace of your suffering.
Now more than ever, repent! Sacrifice and fast for your own sins and in reparation for the sins of the whole world. Pray, pray, pray! Detach yourself from the noise of the world and sit in silence and communicate with God.
We must put on the armor of Christ and fight the only battle that matters-our eternal salvation.
Too many of the shepherds have become wolves. Resist them! The Church has 1900+ years of true and faithful teachings that we have access to-unlike other generations. Access those teachings to keep your faith alive!
Find a traditional (true) Mass (not those attached in any way to Vatican II) to keep your mind and soul free of error and heresy and which will give you the graces and life of Christ you need to persevere.
Agree 100% except the last paragraph. It is a valid but in many ways deficient liturgy.
We must all remember, God is in control. It is only by His permissive will that all the evil things in the world and in the Church happen. He allows them for His own mysterious reasons, which are good and just ones, as we believe by faith. He knows and sees all the Pope, for example, is doing. He allowed him to be elected. He expects us to be FAITHFUL above all. Maybe he will have a short pontificate. Who knows? Maybe these are indeed the times of the Great Apostasy and the revelation of the Man of Sin, which HAS to happen before Christ returns in glory. It certainly ‘seems’ like that is quite possible. Do we stay faithful to Christ in such times or LEAVE Him in leaving the Church He founded, which is His Bride and His Body. God forbid! I, for one, with God’s grace, will remain. Should we be thankful that we are blessed to be a member of the “remnant” or should we join the Apostasy? We remain. We pray. We trust that God is supreme over all things and that Christus vincit! In fact, He has already won, through His passion, death, and resurrection. These are times of great suffering and trial for us, but the Church will survive, as she has through the centuries, through good and sometimes very bad times, e.g. the Arian Heresy, when so many bishops, priests, and laity became total heretics. Should we imitate Martin Luther, John Calvin, etc. and the millions who left Jesus’ Church, or the great saints who suffered through those times and brought renewal to the Church, the TRUE Reformation? The “Reformation”, as it is called, was actually a REVOLT against God and all that is holy. Let us keep our eyes fixed on Christ, trust in His promises, and persevere! Things will only get worse, maybe ‘much’ worse, but the Almighty sees all and is in control of all. He expects us to be faithful and He will give us the grace, which is always sufficient, to be and remain so.
Pray, hope, and do not worry.
– St. Padre Pio
God bless, all
