Bishop Jenky: Men's March Homily

Bishop Jenky of Peoria made headlines a couple weeks ago with this homily delivered on April 16 to a Men's Conference.

Here are a couple of the "big-money" quotes:

May God have mercy especially on the souls of those politicians who pretend to be Catholic in church, but in their public lives, rather like Judas Iscariot, betray Jesus by how they vote and how they willingly cooperate with intrinsic evil.

The days in which we live now require heroic Catholicism, not casual Catholicism.  We can no longer be Catholics by accident, but instead be Catholics by conviction.

We must be a fearless army of Catholic men, ready to give everything we have for the Lord who gave everything for our salvation.

Destroying Marriage and the Family

Divorce, the devaluation of marriage and women, birth control, abortion, the breakdown of the family . . . in this 27 minute sermon, an unidentified* Catholic priest addresses all of these issues and how the Culture of Death is making every effort to destroy the basic building block of society: the family.



*According to the website hosting this audio, the priest is unidentified because he has duties and responsibilities to care for the souls of the Faithful entrusted to him. By remaining unidentified, his attention for his flock won't be divided by folks outside of his parish who might seek him out for questions rather than going to their local priests. Moreover, the message he happens to be preaching -- the Catholic Faith -- is what is important, not the human being who is preaching it.
