Text Box: survivors. How much more responsible is Ricard, because of his active support for the pro-abortionist Obama! Active support because of race! The prostitute, the thief, the robber who murders in the course of his robbery, and even Hitler, Stalin, and those like them, look with disbelief at the Priest who supports the election of an avowed baby killer solely because the Priest desires someone who looks like him in elected office. Their disbelief extends in shock to the Bishop who supports the Priest’s position. The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church is the Temporal Treasurer of the standards established by God. The Bishops and Priests of the Orthodox Church portion of The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church continue to maintain themselves as living examples of those standards. When one of them fails, the others admonish him, and should he not recant, the admonition is made public. When necessary more drastic action is taken. In general, the Orthodox Churches have not yet reached the level of corruption where these practices appear to be threatened. Ricard by his own admission has abandoned his being a living example, and Hughes, by his allowing the publication of Ricard’s advocation that God’s standards be abandoned, and by his omission in failing to admonish Ricard and to publicly proclaim Ricard to be in mortal moral error, has likewise abandoned his being a living example of those Divine standards. If Rome is aware of this situation, and there has occurred nothing to indicate Rome is not aware and many things to indicate Rome is aware, then Rome is bordering on the same abandonment by omission - by failing to take proper action to condemn the abandonment of God’s requirements. The sinner who ignores his sins because he has not reflected on his moral state is perhaps the most common situation. With much work, progress towards and achievement of spiritual improvement is possible.

Text Box: Likewise regarding the sinner who sins and regrets the sin, who would correct the inclination to sin. With such there is spiritual progress even though the sinner is only vaguely aware. Be it the theft of minor things at work, the steadily increasing size of the fish that “got away” with each telling, or even “normal” or abnormal lust, grand larceny, and even murder, where there is spiritual sorrow for the sin - not sorrow for being apprehended - the potential for progress is great. Where the sinner advocates the sin as actually being virtuous, there may be the necessity for major re-education and the sinner’s re-evaluation of moral reality. Hope therefore is not gone. When the sinner acknowledges the sinfulness of the sin, and proclaims the sin was or will be committed, and that God’s desires were not or will not be followed because the sinner desires the sin or that which the sin is expected to accomplish or assist be accomplished, there is the echo of Lucifer shouting to God, “I will not serve!” Such individuals, those who support them, and those who do not openly oppose them, are not fit for the Priestly service of God. Prostitutes, thiefs, robbers, murderers, and Hitlerites need our prayers. But such Priests and Bishops have even greater need for our prayers: for they have lost their savor, and wherewith shall they be salted? (Mat. 5:13) +

Text Box: CELL PHONES FOR SOLDIERS Occasionally REUNION publishes information regarding an organization which we believe to be doing worthy work. CELL PHONES FOR SOLDIERS is such an organization. This organization collects old cell phones. We do not know if they send them to military personnel, or sell them and use the proceeds to obtain cell phones or calling cards or other means of communications for military personnel to “call home”, but enabling military personnel to “call home” seems to be the concept. Their web site is at: http://www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com/ where they also have a link at which you may obtain a cell phone data eraser. This seems to be a worthwhile and worthy project. - Ed.
