How to Feel Cheerful Despite Our F-Ups
Q: Why the New American Bible?
A: To remind us that bishopric mischief can't destroy the Church, proof of divine protection (see this). The NAB was also designed in order to encourage us to "offer it up" and to allow us to feel solidarity with the hierarchy by reminding us that it's not only lay people who hose things up.
Q: Fr. Jim of "Dappled Things" posts about daily communicant who is a lousy person
A: The obligatory response is: "Just think how bad he'd be without the sacrament!" (See Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh)
Q: Robert Hanson, FBI spy for the Soviets & member of Opus Dei...predatory gay priests and the bishops who enabled them...
A: They were caught. Providential? The chance to repent before death is a great grace.
