Dear Friends
For breakfast each morning I have an
apple, an orange,
and a bowl of instant oats with New Zealand hi-calcium milk
Yesterday during breakfast I watched and
listened to
a short TV talk by Fr Frank Moloney: When
Catholics dropped the Bible
One point Fr Frank made was that the Council
of Trent (1545 - 1563)
got Catholics to trust the hierarchy rather than the Bible.
The same move is on again today by the "reform of the reform" people
who want Catholics to trust the hierarchy (read "the Vatican")
more than the Bible, more than conscience etc
This was the problem of the Scribes and
Pharisees in Jesus' time:
they put their own teaching, their own "traditions",
above the love and law of God
Same is true of certain organizations where
"the handbook", "the rules"
are more important than the Bible, practical charity towards others etc
All things being equal of course, the
hierarchy and the Bible and our conscience etc
should all be playing the same music
But just as the Scribes and Pharisees were out
of tune,
so at the present time we are going through a time of disharmony
-----
On this 21st of the month,
Jesus please bless
the people of Yunnan
(Please join me in praying for one
part of China each day of the month)
My Bible Plan for today. Please join me in using this menu for hope and strength
Thank you for a prayer
God bless!
