On April 20th, 2019, Cardinal George Pell (imprisoned in Victoria, Australia, as a result of conducting a mass) quoted in his Prison Journal this sentence from a letter to him from young Catholic Seminarians: ” We know that your trials and sufferings, your white martyrdom, will be a source of great fruit for the Church in Australia, and the Church at large.”
Pell wrote about this thought: ” I pray that this will be so, not least to counteract the damage, confusion and disillusion provoked by the conviction.”
Cowering in the stupidities of barnyard fear’s illusions of safety is one of our options.
But we do not have to live in the shadow of the stultifying shackles of our own divinity’s modern social death.
We do not have to be dead to possibilities.
But the darkness in our midst is of human creation and must be named if good people are to oppose and disarm it.
That is why this website exists.
its not going to be easy.
Our greatest love is stronger than death.
