Prayer Needed | Disgraced Nova Scotia Bishop Replaced

I was so saddened when I caught this headline on my yahoo page….yet another matter of sickness and something gone terribly wrong.  Hitting even closer to home, besides RC being my “roots” by birth and upbringing until I chose otherwise, this poor soul (yes, I mean that from the bottom of my heart….for so many have gone into the service of the Lord via the RC church, because of a great love for Him and to Serve with Him) who has been consumed by the lusts of the flesh; devouring his Spirit, his first love, the Lord!  Will this raging war ever end?  Is the RC church more affected and the worst offender of all religions, and if so, “Why?”  Is it because the head of the RC church…in the beginning, made it his “law” that if a man wished to serve the Lord then he must remain single, deny his natural, God given feelings and desires; self-flagelate in order to be a “servant” of the Lord?  I believe it has a lot to do with it, and when one is overcome by a desire…a voice telling you to do it anyway, no one will know:  we all know that having acted, the evil one’s accusing voice then bellows in, “Boy what a failure you are; just who did you think you were…becoming a priest, serving God?”  And the shame, the guilt….having thus thought, “Oh well, it’s done and whether it be once or twice, it does not matter.  The damage is done and irreparable,” and so it continues.

And, here we have it happening in the province of my birth, and what I also noted is that the man appointed to replace this poor, lost soul….well, he is also from the Maritime provinces; from Newfoundland.

Yes, I am an Irish Catholic person by birth – though these days I do not like to be labelled as any “religious” denomination…for that would mean to me, that I am under rule of man’s doctrine…and frankly I’ve had more than my fill of fallible man’s ways.  I simply Love and desire to serve the Lord; I am a forever student of the Most High God, who dearly loves Yahshua….her role model, her teacher, instructor and closest and most intimate bestest (no such word, right!) friend in the whole wide universe.

Will you, as I, pray for this man and the oh so too many like him that have been overcome.  Will the church mend its ways, and return to the Word?  No where does it say within the Torah/Bible that a man cannot marry and be a priest unto the Lord.
