Bishop Rants Against Catholic Websites

Catholic Websites which are “not sanctioned” by the Church - as if it were the Church's task to sanction websites - and are “part of the Church of doom and gloom" extolling "hate, judgement and vile accusations” should not be followed, Knoxville Bishop Rick Stika, USA, writes on Twitter (July 11).

Today, doom, gloom and vile accusations are mostly found on Vatican and diocesan webpages that promote climate doom and gloom as well as heresy.

Nevertheless, Stika believes that Catholic websites lead “to sin.” The reason for his rant is personal, “Many webpages have attacked me and the result was their followers calling the chancery and directed vile and abusive comments to a saintly woman who answers the phone,” he complains.

And, “They distort the teachings of Jesus” - albeit the teaching of the Church is today distorted by bishops and popes.

Stika has a history of publishing statements that threaten, are weird, and distort Catholic teaching.

Stika had a (partial) point about the Mass, in that virtually all the prayers in the Mass are addressed to the Father. But the statement was still silly, because the Son and the Spirit are certainly worshiped.

O Lord Jesus Christ the only-begotten Son
O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,
Who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Who takest away the sins of the world, receive our prayers.
Who sittest at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us.
For Thou only are holy, Thou only art the Lord
Thou only, O Jesus Christ, art most high...

Okay......so "bishop" Barron, "Cdl." Wuerl, place defending and promoting Catholicism in the public square solely on the laity's shoulders, but when we do that through media they all of a sudden want to arrogate authority over what they previously abandoned due to their grave dereliction of duty.

The kind woman fielding calls after Wuerl refused to defend a priest who denied communion to an unrepentant, self-professed active lesbian apparently fainted in the midst of her duties. And the fault is with those defending the faith? I see a pattern.

This guy claimed that "Mass is not the worship of Christ"
You will know them for their fancy crosses and their fancy sayings.
Stika has quite a collection of those fancy crosses I discovered on photographs.
