| Mosaic of Christ casting demons out of a possessed man and into swine. |
I have no plans to follow this event which, by its name alone, sounds like a gigantic exercise of corporate clericalism, and expanding clericalism to include a whole host of tedious aging radicals and busybodies from new demographics. Given the cast of characters who have been invited, I have zero hope for a good outcome. The best thing that can possibly come out of it is nothing—nothing but a ringing endorsement of what the Church already teaches and has taught for hundreds and thousands of years.
But the Holy Spirit often uses wicked and bad-intentioned men to work His Will in ways that none of us can comprehend or predict. So in that spirit, I offer this prayer to our Father in Heaven:
"Almighty God, I pray that all who propose to speak on behalf of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church be granted the gifts of wisdom, charity, eloquence and clarity, that they may expound the eternal Truths of Jesus Christ and His Gospel persuasively and with zeal.
For any who attempt to alter, pervert or contradict those same eternal Truths, may a spirit of confusion descend upon them, may their efforts come to naught, and may they be shunned by all Christian men and women who desire the unadulterated Gospel of Jesus Christ and the unchangeable teachings of Holy Mother Church.
I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, Son of the Everliving God. Amen."
