It's a contribution to something the Church desperately needs: an authentic understanding of the masculine, or at least, putting into practice what we used to know and cherish. Evangelicals have a fine culture of the masculine--something the Church can learn from.Scott Woltzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13112547391607836919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-387272522323350808.post-31398755113642876332015-03-24T17:17:25.651-07:002015-03-24T17:17:25.651-07:00Congratulations on the birth of your son!

In my analysis I probably left some readers frustrated because I used the idea of the Church's passion in several ways: the final passion (the very End Times), generational passions, the great passions in history (Arian Crisis, the Protestant Revolt), etc. I did that on purpose since God's ways and signs are so hard to read. <br /><br />But I share your view that we are almost at "the point of crucifixion". That may seem far-fetched to most, but as the Quebec example showed, things can change at a breath-taking pace once the dominoes are all lined up. In any event, thanks for the input and movie reference--I'll go check out that movie clip since it's on Netflix streaming.

Our Lord speaks to all of us in different ways and when we least expect it. Your SD agreed with you - that is good. As you know we don't want to be attached to these experience but thank God and continue in the apostolate he leads you in. I'm happy to read about the two other guys as well. I also like the tunic you wear.<br /><br />I'll admit I've had similar experiences over the years and I do agree we've been in this dark night, this passion since Paul VI - I am very fond of PPVI and had a sense we were advancing upon the way of the cross during his pontificate.<br /><br />Do you recall the scene in Passion of the Christ where Simon of Cyrene seems to really compassionate and console Christ who is struggling even to walk saying, "We're almost there now." Almost at the point of crucifixion - I think we're almost there now.<br /><br />God bless you my friend.Terry Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819523933502820341noreply@blogger.com
