Drivel of the Heretics

From the May 27th, 2010 edition of "The Wanderer."

More than 30 years ago, Dietrich Von Hildebrand said: "One of the most horrifying and widespread diseases of the Church today is the lethargy of the guardians of the faith of the Church...I am thinking of the numerous bishops...who make no use whatever of their authority when it comes to intervening against heretical thelogians or priests, or against blasphemous performances of public worship...
"But it is most especially infuriating when certain bishops who...show this lethargy toward heretics, assume a rigorously authoritarian attitude toward those believers who are fighting for orthodoxy..."

"A partial list of abuses calling for apology by the many bishops in the U.S. hierarchy is:
-To the millions of Catholic parents and grandparents who are enduring incredible sufferings over the collapse of the faith and morality of their children and grandchildren, which includes not only spiritual concerns for their children's salvation, a source of constant inner anxiety and distress, but on the practical side they see their children unable to practice chastity, engaged in lives of adultery and fornication and the breakdown of family life."
