Catholic Internet Affairs – Oct 25 – Homily – Fr Terrance
Views 1194
Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Oct 25, 2019, on how Paul says we are all "captive to the law of sin that dwells in [our] members" and that we must take this into account when using the internet, even on Catholic sites and especially in the comments, to avoid doing what we know we should not, like rash judgment, gossip, slander, or detraction. This is true especially regarding the Pope, even if we find what he says (or doesn't say) controversial or ambiguous. Rather, we should have respect for the Pope and the hierarchy. If a site is too critical (even in the comments) we must avoid the site. We will not be judged by how many details we have on events, but on how much we love and work on becoming a saint, reforming ourselves and forgetting the negativity of our times.
Fr. Terrance refers to:
Romans 7: 18-25 - Unite to Christ to conquer the law of sin within. http://www.usccb.org/bible/romans/7#53007018
CCC 2478 - Avoid Rash Judgment - http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/2478.htm
We should be ready to interpret others in a favorable light, which includes Pope Francis' ambiguity.
CCC 892 - Must give assent to Ordinary Magisterium - http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/892.htm
Even when infallibility is not invoked, we "are to adhere to it with religious assent". This includes homilies and Encyclicals but not interviews on an airplane and off-hand comments.
He also refers to his own previous homily on this theme: Satanic Religious Zeal - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAVlItZhzQw
