What About The Holy Ghost???

Am I dreaming, or what?

I've read in the Bible that the Holy Ghost (the Paraclete) was sent by our Lord to appear to and strengthen the Apostles hiding in the upper room for fear of the Jews.

After He descended upon those very scared Apostles, they had new-found courage and zeal to preach and baptize those very same Jews they had previously feared and hid from!!

Fast forward to the present time...

Have our shepherds, our bishops, forgotten about the recently-celebrated feast of Pentecost?

Has the Holy Ghost been kicked out of the public sphere too?

It seems so.  And why not, if Christ has been kicked out of the public sphere, why not the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity?

But our shepherds should have the guts -- given to them by right of their manhood -- in the first place, and because they -- and we -- have received the sacrament of Confirmation, when we were all made soldiers of Christ, in the second place.

In the third place, our shepherds, have been given additional power and strength by the administration of the sacrament of Holy Orders as priest, then the consecration of a bishop marks the plenitude of the priesthood.

So why have 99% of the U.S. bishops been hiding in the "upper room" for fear of the civil authorities who have demanded that our churches be shut down because of a coronavirus?

And as some church doors have now been open for Mass -- under some very strict requirements -- is it possible that if there is another uptick in the so-called COVID-19 flu bug, the bishops will capitulate once again and shut the doors of our churches?

Why the eagerness to obey some dictate of these Christ-hating governors and mayors?  Are they somehow indebted to these miscreants; do they in some way support their attempt to take down the president, regardless if the economy is ruined and millions of Americans lose their jobs?

Do these Catholic bishops care if hundreds -- or is it thousands? -- of their flock have committed suicide -- the ultimate act of despair, condemning a soul to hell for all eternity?  Or do they not believe in mortal sin and hell, and that one leads to the other if not confessed before death?

Have they kicked the Holy Ghost out of their lives entirely for power and position in this life, and to hell with what they will face in the next?

Their flocks have been laid-waste; they have let the wolf attack and ravage what is left of the faithful; the souls of many have been placed in dire jeopardy, why?

My advice to all Catholic bishops: appeasement never works.  Stand your ground and protect the flock from the attacks unleashed by the so-called "pandemic," in conjunction with the Marxist powers from hell who realize that the last barrier to their complete takeover and enslavement of the human race is the authentic Catholic Church...

Please pray for our country -- and the bishops...

Viva Cristo Rey!  Fr.  Miguel Pro, pray for us...
