Msgr. Pope on the Church as a Sign of Contradiction

“In recent weeks leading up to the Conclave, and this day after, an awful lot of people, Catholic and Non-Catholic, are trotting out their agendas and looking for the new Pope to  somehow bring he Church into conformity with what they want and demand. . . .

“The worldly experts often opine that unless the Church surrenders to this agenda, we are destined to be empty halls and ‘irrelevant’ to the modern scene.”

In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish, Washington, DC) reflected on the Church as a sign of contradiction and the need to address ourselves to the conscience of a world that seems “bent on going morally insane.”
