One of the more thoughtful and prophetic Catholic blogs to be found these days is run by Fr. Gary Dickson and Andrew McDowell over at Catholic Collar and Tie (Please see our links page).

Father posted up an article last week with a concluding paragraph that so succinctly expresses the present state of things that we include it here for your ongoing reflection:-

'Truly I cannot believe it is the Holy Ghost who inspires Modernizers with confidence in their strategies and to push for 'more of the same' when we can all see the Church dying away in front of our eyes. Only the enemy could encourage us to think of closures and falling Mass attendances as good; only the enemy could have us scorn and disparage a form of Mass sanctioned by the Popes, loved by the saints, and defended by our martyrs. Only the enemy could have us turn from the wisdom of the saints to the musings of today's gurus. When it has become a sign of wisdom and intellectual acuity to deride what the Church has always treasured and abandon her liturgical and spiritual heritage, something very evil is happening in the Church that is simply not being recognized by the great and powerful.'

Like we said - Thoughtful and Prophetic. Please keep these men in your prayers.
