Dear Friends and fellow Faithful,
P. S. A note about Ecclesia Militans aka Tony la Rosa. It was because of his persistence that many of the facts regarding Moran came to light. He did not hesitate to shout out a warning that there were grave concerns about this situation. St. Thomas Aquinas tells us that 'against a fact there is no argument'. And St. Augustine tells us that it is better for the truth to be known than a scandal covered up. And whilst we did not always agree in the manner in which it was handled, in all fairness and justice, we are appreciative of Tony's vigilance and persistence.
I wish to share with you the decision of The Catacombs regarding Ambrose Moran.
Like many of you, we have long been praying for Our Lady to guide our hearts and minds with respect to this man. In Her sweet maternal solicitude, Our Lady has seemingly closed every door that could allow an association with this man. We humbly agree with Fr. Hewko that "for many reasons this is a dead end." May Our Lady protect and guide the good priests of OLMC. And may we all ever be found united in the True Faith and the True Church.
But today we must be very prudent. The devil is powerful; the devil seems unchained today. It seems that God has given him all power to do as he wishes on earth. [...] In these critical moments, we must remain with that which is surest. We must avoid doubtful things.
We must make our stand on things that are certain, absolutely certain, without a thousandth per cent of doubt: our Creed, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacraments, devotion to the Most Blessed Virgin. We cannot go wrong there. If we are firmly attached to these things we can work out our salvation. Our Lord willed these things for our salvation. So let us adhere to these things with all our heart. thecatacombs.org/thread/1435/sermon-before-association-catholic-families
