Support Your Catholic Priest (Catholic Speaker Ken Yasinski)

Описание: Being a Catholic priest in not a popular thing these days. The clerical sex abuse crisis rocking the Church in North American have given some the impression that the priesthood is thoroughly corrupt. The impression is that priest are abusing there power, that the Catholic priesthood if full of predators, sexual immortal priests who can’t be trusted. Of course it is true there has been some terrible crimes and sins committed by priests. As a Catholic speaker, leading parish missions across North America, I have spoken privately with MANY victims of sexual abuse at the hands of priests. There stories are heartbreaking!!! The Pennsylvania Grand jury report is still very fresh in the consciousness of Catholics and the public. And then we have the continued headlines of victims of sexual abuse bringing forth lawsuits against diocese (which they should), or the still occasional Bishop completely failing to protect his flock and public, by shuffling around predator priest (such as the case of Bishop Malone, former Bishop of Buffalo, New York). And of course we can’t forget former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, the homosexual predator, who was constantly promoted through the ranks of the the Catholic hierarchy, while Vatican officials and perhaps popes, just looked the other way. Who knew what? How did McCarrick, a pedophile priest, a serial homosexual predatory, with a long history of committing sexual abuse, because Cardinal? We still don’t know because the Vatican still has not released it’s finding on the McCarrick investigation yet over a year has passed (this is a complete failure of the Vatican leadership. The silence is wrong! And smells like more cover up… after all, why not practice what you are preaching…in the area of transparency, the Vatican continues to be tight lipped over Theodore McCarrick. Victims, and the Catholic faithful deserve answers, but non are given.

All this to say, it is not a popular to be a priest. But it would be a grave mistake to think that the Catholic priesthood is corrupt. That all priest are sexual predators or pedophiles. That all priest break their vows of celibacy. This is simply not sure! What I see is the opposite. I travel continual, in and out of parishes and dioceses across North America as a Catholic speaker. What I see are wonderful heroic priests, who love their priesthood, who are laying down their lives for the service of Jesus Christ. Who are living beautiful catholic priesthood celibacy. But I also see some priests who are very wounded by the lack of leadership within the Catholic Church. Who have lost faith in their Bishop, and who no longer trust Pope Francis to effectively lead the faithful.

So what can we do to support our Catholic priests? I have suggested 3 things the Catholic faithful can do to support their parish priest. And I believe that if the laity did these three things, not only will the priesthood be renewed, but the Church in North America will be transformed.
