Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
The Church is the New Ark. As Noah led the animals and his family into the ark to save them from the flood, so we have been led into the ark of the Church for safekeeping until this boat reaches its final destination, Heaven. The flood is the world outside. Sometimes the waves lap, and sometimes they come crashing against the ark. But they have never overwhelmed her. They have never – even now – capsized her. She cannot be capsized.
Are Christians any different than non-Christians in their response and treatment of ministers, priests, bishops or clergy who have publicly sinned or committed crimes? When these things happen, do you stand in line to throw the first stone?
