099 Dcn. Mike Beauvais: The Catholic Crisis in Historical Perspective

Happy New Year! On Wednesday, January 2, 2019, Dcn. Mike Beauvais addressed the current crisis in the Catholic Church by looking back at previous times of scandal and heresy. Key among these were Donatism and Arianism in the 4th century; the Great Western Schism in the 14th century; and the reign of the Borgia popes leading to the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. Dcn. Mike developed three themes out of this survey: time, truth, and saints. Times of crisis usually are prolonged so stay vigilant, prayerful, and hopeful. Times of scandal require us to cling to the Truth and also to wait for the truth to be borne out about the personalities and motives of those involved. Troubled times have always brought forth great saints through Divine Providence. Remain expectant that He will do so again. In the meantime, strive to live a life of personal holiness and devotion to Our Lord and Our Lady. Hold fast to The Faith and be not afraid! Many tempests and storms are to come but we are not alone.
