This episode of the Vortex from Michael Voris ties in with the theme of my January 7th post about Pope Francis and his reluctance to condemn the worldwide persecution of his fellow Christians. The Pontiff’s attitude is emblematic of a much larger problem within the Catholic church (and yes, many other Christian denominations as well): flimsy faith – and wimpy witnesses.
 
Rather than the robust, fearless conviction of the early apostles, what we’re seeing among far too many of the clergy these days is a lethargic, watered-down version of evangelism. In fact, this trend is so pervasive (again, I believe this is far from just a Catholic problem or we wouldn’t be losing young western Christians in droves) that a cardinal recently observed – only half in jest – there’s no faith left even in Rome…
 

 
The video’s title – “Welcome, Angel of Death” – refers to natural attrition which will, over time, rid the church of these anemic, ineffective priests.
I’m not sure Christendom can afford to wait that long.
