Psychological Healing
in the Roman Catholic Mystic Tradition

Questions and Answers

Thank you for this website. You’ve saved my life, I think. . . . But none of the priests in my Church preaches these things. None of the parishioners [that I know] lives this way, and none of my family and friends lives this way. What am I supposed to do now?

 
Welcome to the true Catholic Church. This is the pain of it all. Once you have had your eyes opened to the truth, then you see that hardly anyone else understands—or even wants to understand—the truth.

The Church is infested with demons in sheep’s clothing. It began with Judas Iscariot himself, and it will continue to the end. It’s a bit like that science-fiction movie from the 1950s, The Invasion of the Body Snatchers. That seemingly nice usher back there—is he or isn’t he? That seemingly devout woman praying the Rosary over there—is she or isn’t she? The priest at the altar—is he or isn’t he? The bishop himself—is he or isn’t he?

Nevertheless, even though you may not know of them, there are a few who seek Christ at all costs. They are quiet and humble, and they bear their suffering quietly, so you may not notice them or think much of them when you see them.

As for the rest, all you can do is pray for them, constantly. Most persons don’t want to do anything it takes to live holy lives; instead, they want to live in comfort. They enjoy the satisfaction of thinking they lead holy lives, and yet they balk at accepting the hardships a holy life entails. In the old days, martyrs allowed themselves to be cut to pieces and burned without so much as a whimper. Today, most Christians faint at the mere thought of a pin prick; they also laugh at the very idea of sin and, instead of sacrificing their lives for the Church, they are determined to undermine the Church through liberal subversion. Pray for them all anyway, and let your life be a humble example, both for them and for those of true faith. That’s what you’re supposed to do. Now, and always.
