The Church of Martha, Martha – November 6th, 2012 10:14am

I would wish that every one of my Catholic friends read this brief essay from my good friend Louie Verrecchio. It finishes with a whallop; a healthy, masculine, slap upside the head –

“We’ve become the Church of Martha, Martha — feminized, frenzied and busy about many things; a Church that is all-too-frequently distracted from the only mission that really matters; converting the world to Christ who didn’t lay down His life to establish a think tank.

To that end, I hereby respectfully submit to the Synod the following amendment:

Proposition 59 — Go ye therefore to all nations; teaching in firmness and in love all that the Lord has commanded, inviting all to the sanctification made available only through the grace of conversion to the one true Church that He Himself established for our salvation, governing not in the manner of lawyers and legislators but as legates of Christ the King.”
