YOU EITHER HAVE FAITH OR YOU DON’T HAVE FAITH.

Everyone knows about my fallout with the RCC and my total disillusionment with it, but by the grace of God, and it alone, to date, I have never had either:

1. A crisis of faith.

2. A crisis of vocation.

One of my prayers has always been: “O Lord, let me go into my coffin as a priest”.

Of course, I am constantly struggling with the thoughts of how God works – particularly how he allows people to suffer and how he allows mind boggling natural disasters.

But then, as a limited human being how could I hope to understand God and his ways?

I am a catholic Christian and as such I believe firmly in:

The existence of God.

The Trinity.

The Bible – properly read and interpreted.

The Seven Sacraments.

The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

Prayer.

These things and my relationship with God have given my life deep meaning for many decades now.

Most of the time, I like others, travel the humdrum road of life.

Occasionally, I have felt the presence of God permeating me and at such times I am confirmed in both my faith and vocation.

I believe God to be the epitome of Good.

I believe Satan to be the epitome of Evil.

From the beginning of time we Christians believe, there has been a struggle between Good and Evil and during our lifetimes we are caught up in that struggle – internally and externally.

The life of faith is a joy to those with faith.

To those without faith, it is unfathomable.

And its got nothing to do with intelligence.

In fact, its got more to do with simplicity and childlikeness.

Its about approaching life with more of the heart rather than the head.

COCK ROACH

Our Rome Correspondent Writes


Not only did Roche bankrupt the Leed’s diocese as bishop with his endless vanity projects, he also was involved in some financial shenanigans when he was private secretary to Bishop Gordan Wheeler – who doted upon his flaxen haired Yorkshire lad!

To have been removed from your diocese once may be considered unfortunate, but twice… Well, it did him no harm. The first time he had to “go away” he was sent to Rome to study for a Licence in Spirituality at the Gregorian University. This is hardly a course for theological high flyers.

The Degree’s themselves are readily available in the university WC, above the toilet paper dispensers with the notice “STL in Spirituality – Please Take One”. Roche never completed the course, let alone obtain the qualification (though he uses the letters after his name), as he was swept off his feet in his first few months in the Eternal City and appointed Spiritual Director [sic] of the Venerable English College.

You see Arfur bewitched the then idiot rector Edna Toffee Loo… and the rest as they say is history. Or is it? Well his friendship with onetime Cardiff priest Fr JJ hasn’t done him any harm and the Red Biretta awaits. Pope Bergolio won’t hear a word against him and so his appointment is assured. By the way it’s worth nothing that the financial mess that he caused twice in Leeds wasn’t cleared up by current Bishop Stock.

That was done by the excellent John Wilson, now archbishop of Southwark and my tip to succeed Vinnie. Mark my words the chubby young prelate is the one to put your money on.

101 replies on “YOU EITHER HAVE FAITH OR YOU DON’T HAVE FAITH.”

11.32pm That, my fried, is ridiculous. Egan is disliked by his fellow Bishops. He is extremely conservative and, at his inaugural sermon in front of episcopal colleagues, said that he would be an ‘orthodox bishop’, implying they were not orthodox. That went down very badly indeed. The horse-riding, all things hunting and shooting Bishop Moth is middle order – not the man for Westminster. Watch tubby Wilson.

Like

Yep, I reckon it’s going to be Tubby Wilson, and they are just keeping Vinnie on for a bit longer so that TW can get a bit of experience under his – not inconsiderable – belt. Then they will move him to Westminster. Although he is still young, so someone like Longley could fill the gap before Wilson moves across The Thames ?

Upon his appointment as Secretary to CDWDS on 26 June 2012 the Vatican Press Office issued the following press release. It claims Rev Roche obtained an STL in spiritual theology:
NOMINA DEL SEGRETARIO DELLA CONGREGAZIONE PER IL CULTO DIVINO E LA DISCIPLINA DEI SACRAMENTI
Il Papa ha nominato Segretario della Congregazione per il Culto Divino e la Disciplina dei Sacramenti S.E. Mons. Arthur Roche, finora Vescovo di Leeds, elevandolo in pari tempo alla dignità di Arcivescovo.
S. E. Mons. Arthur Roche
S.E. Mons. Arthur Roche è nato a Batley Carr, nella diocesi di Leeds, il 6 marzo 1950. Ha compiuto gli studi a Christleton Lodge a Chester e, poi, al Collegio Inglese di Valladolid, Spagna. È stato ordinato sacerdote il 19 luglio 1975 per la diocesi di Leeds.
Dopo tre anni di ministero come vicario parrocchiale a Barnsley, è diventato Segretario del Vescovo di Leeds, S.E. Mons. Gordon Wheeler. Allo stesso tempo è stato anche cappellano della St. John Bosco School a Leeds e vice cancelliere della diocesi. Ha coordinato la visita del Santo Padre Giovanni Paolo II a York nel 1982. Per sei anni ha lavorato come vicario parrocchiale della cattedrale e, poi, è diventato parroco della parrocchia St Wilfrid a Leeds.
Nel 1991 è stato inviato a Roma per proseguire gli studi alla Pontificia Università Gregoriana, dove ha ottenuto la licenza in teologia spirituale. Per quattro anni ha svolto l’incarico di Direttore Spirituale al Venerabile Collegio Inglese a Roma. Dal 1996 fino alla sua nomina episcopale è stato Segretario Generale della Conferenza Episcopale d’Inghilterra e Galles.
Eletto Vescovo titolare di Rusticiana ed Ausiliare di Westminster il 12 aprile 2001, ha ricevuto la consacrazione episcopale il 10 maggio successivo. È stato anche Presidente del Department of Pastoral Affairs di Westminster.
Il 16 luglio 2002 il Beato Giovanni Paolo II lo ha nominato Vescovo Coadiutore di Leeds (Inghilterra), ed è succeduto per coadiutura il 7 aprile 2004.

+Pat: On reading this blog on Faith, it comes across as your defensive response to the many hard questions recently posed questioning the whole religious scenario.
As I’ve said before: when hard questions seeking evidence of religious faith beliefs are put to staunch believers, their default responses, for lack of anything else, is invariably that weak and insipid, “You must have faith.”
In relation to religion, and particularly Catholicism, why should I have any faith in the religious beliefs of such a currently discredited institution?

12.08: MMM: Many scientists are of a deeply committed faith perspective and see no difficulty in reconciling their faith with science. There are obviously many things that science alone can answer and explain. Faith isn’t about scientific proof of anything. Faith as we understand it thriugh the lens of christianity or any faith system is about surrendering to a higher being – God – and accepting the presence of this God as the source of all life and creation. For billions in our wirld, faith and religious systems are integral to their lives as a source of power, strength, guidance, wisdom, intelligence and truth. However we define God or faith or religious belief, the reality is that these are truths deeply embedded in our conscious and sub conscious mind. For me, I cannot imagine my life without faith in God or a religious belief. My doubting mind, my curiosity about the questions you ask, my ongoing seeking for truth, desire for answers, scientific or otherwise, sit comfortably side by side with me. When I look at a marvellous piece of architecture or a tiny bird or a Rembrandt painting or listen to a piece of Bach or read the poetry of Mary Oliver, Yeats, Emily Bronte or absorb the ingenuity of space travel, I am very often briught to incredible mystery, awe and wonder. My faith is nourished and enriched by everything I see around me and of course in and through the person of Jesus.

Karl Rahner SJ was not only one of the architects of modern Roman Catholic theology but also a master of the spiritual life. In, ‘The Practice of Faith-A Handbook of Contemporary Spirituality,’ we discover, at the heart of his extraordinary philosophical gift is a deep and simple faith, penetrated with a rare passion for the incomprehensible God- but all the more genuine for that- human intimacy, and goodness. His was an antithesis of an introverted piety as passion for inquiry was a basic ingredient of his theology. His boldness of boundless inquiry was a trait of one who knows that he does not produce the truth, but that the truth is given him as a gift, after all his creative searching. Theology can never be anything but the endlessly renewed questions, the rumination of the Word given in the Church as confession and commitment. Too many, Rahner seems a free-floating thinker, but this can be the judgement of someone who is ignorant of Rahners biblical grounding. In, ‘The Practice of Faith-A Handbook of Contemporary Spirituality’, Rahner addresses questions such as; Why am I a Christian today; The situation of Faith Today; Experiencing The Spirit; Prayer; Love; Love For God and Human Beings; Hope; The Theology of Peace; Jesus Christ as the Meaning of Life; Eternity from Time.

Dear Dr, Dr Hackett (you came by that ph.d in a hurry), ‘drink’? Of Rahner? As I believe his own brother said of him: If only he would write something we could all understand.

I doubt whether God could understand the convoluted pretension written by Rahner. I’m sure he found Rahner more ‘incomprehensible’ than the other way round.

Rahner was a theologian for himself, I’m afraid, not for the Church, so I question your claim that he was an architect of modern theology.

Once again we find the vilification of Archbishop Roach. Clearly, your ‘Rome correspondent’ knows nothing about the Archbishop who has offered exemplary service to the Church. He speaks Italian, Spanish, French and German. He is a fine Latinist. There are few who surpass his excellence as a liturgist. Known for his pastoral qualities when in Leeds, Roche has spent a lifetime many would envy. Please stop this nastiness, that is so undeserved. My goodness, when honoured with red he will bring great distinction to the Church in England and Wales.

Faith is more complex and at the same time more nuanced than the kind of faith that the Catholic Church puts forward, which is usually a contrived, nicely fitted together, set of nonsense proposals. I guess God, whoever He or She or It is, has a good giggle about the silliness being talking about Him / Her or It. I just wish the Catholic Church would treat us like adults and stop feeding us with all this pious shit. I prefer to make my own mind up, to see through things like apparitions in Lourdes, or Real Presence in the Eucharist, or the ontological obstacle to women standing at the altar. Do they really think that I’m that stupid to swallow all the stuff they churn out ? My view is that increasingly people are thinking creatively and speculatively for themselves as they search for the truth. When the troops start to make up their own minds, then the Generals need to start worrying !

There is more than just scientific or empirical rationalism that keeps people from faith in God: there is also self-interest, greed, sexual licence, worldliness, etc. We see this today in so many who pay lip service to Christ, and to faith in him, especially in priests. So you are not alone, MMM, in having reason to reject the existence of God.

So where is that blasted needle in this haystack of grounds for unbelief? If you really wish to know, God will provide you with sufficient reason to believe and trust, but only if your mind is open to the possibility of his existence. Jesus could not persuade many religionists in his day that he was God, even when he raised the dead. Do you truly believe things would be any different were he to return in our time? Sometimes abundance is never enough for some, even when it is cornucopic. The problem isn’t always lack of reason to believe: the problem is often unwillingness to believe. There is a difference, and it is one some atheists fail to acknowledge in themselves.

Atheists might claim that Christians believe about Christ what they choose to believe. The same could be said of atheists.

Magna: I don’t “reject” the existence of God inasmuch as I cannot prove a “non-existence.” Similarly I cannot disprove the possibility that huge teapots circle the furthest planets in Alpha Centauri! My reality is simply that I am unwilling to ignore my own fairly intelligent educated reasoning in favour of believing assertions concerning religion where no reliable proof is available for its central foundational claims. The discredited claims of religion, and the behaviour of its proponents offers little inclination towards having “faith” . And if this alleged God gave me these reasoning facilities why would He then ask me to ignore them?

So I can claim to have an open mind as to the existence of God. Indeed I could welcome He/She or It’s manifestation and confirmation of an “eternal life” in the hereafter. But I have to voice some reservation as to whether an eternity “glorifying Him” and singing His praises with the heavenly choir might be truly wonderful!

MMM I did it and it worked. I was brought up as a Catholic and left as soon as I could. At 28 I gave birth to a child with disabilities after 2yrs of utter exhaustion I met a baptist minister. He talked about faith. I said I had non. He said the only way to a living faith is absolute total and complete surrender. I replied that that was terrifying. He replied it is, but it is the only way. He said you have a two year old and I am sure you have played the game where he stands on a step and says catch me. Would you let him fall. I said of course not. He replied and what makes you think you are better than. Jump and he will catch you. As I was really in the depth despair, I did and God caught me and lifted me up as the apple of his eye.
