His assertion that “smoking out enemies” is best done by appointing them to high positions in the Vatican is absurd.
“If we do not love those whom we see, how can we love God, Whom we do not see?” Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
His assertion that “smoking out enemies” is best done by appointing them to high positions in the Vatican is absurd.
The people deserve to know the truth. It is time for ignorance to end so that the faithful may develop informed opinions.

What did the saints say about celebrating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass facing East?
The Bishop of Little Rock has sent a letter (14 July 2016) forbidding his priests to celebrate Mass “ad orientem.”
