From Toronto Catholic Witness
Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, in a Sermon on Palm Sunday in 2013, warned Catholics about crying out Hosanna one minute, but betraying Christ the next. We become lost in our passions, our foolishness, our blindness, and give ourselves over to what seems acceptable just for the present...following the Crowd. But real Love is truly meaningful and permanent. Our love of Christ must be constant and persistent, spoke the Archbishop.
I must examine myself, where I have failed and where I can improve. Each and every day should be a constant struggle to follow Christ and not join the "Crowd". Slowly this "Crowd" is getting larger and larger: not only from those who have openly abandoned Christianity, but also from those who claim to love Him.
Please continue to pray for Archbishop Vigano, pray for the Church, and pray for the Pope! "And Peter, going out, wept bitterly" (Luke 22:62).

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
