A Worldy Speaker for a Worldly Church

Money and fame, rather than holiness and Christian living, appear to have been the reasons for choosing speakers to address the Worcester, Massachusetts 7th Annual Diocesan Men’s Conference. This was seen in the March 30 diocesan newspaper, The Catholic Free Press, in an article titled, “Speakers Inspire.”

The featured speaker was Tom Brady Sr., father of the three-time Super Bowl winning quarterback of the New England Patriots, Tom Brady. The article said:

“Brady, 62, did not speak specifically about the well-publicized news that son Tom and his former girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynihan, are expecting a child outside of marriage. But Brady did note that this isn’t the first time this has happened in his family. ‘When it comes to grandchildren being born outside of wedlock, we’re three for three,’ he said.”

Trying to put the best face on a bad situation, Mr Brady then said that at least abortion was not considered regarding these three illegitimate births.

He then went on boasting about “the resources of our Catholic faith,” “the power of the Mass,” “love of the sacraments,” ad nauseam.

Hmmmm……It seems all this Catholic hocus-pocus didn’t help teach his four children about the sanctity of marriage! And, this is a man the Worcester Diocese thought appropriate to give advice to Catholic men??

Please pray daily that the Spirit of God free more Catholics from this worldly religion, and give them saving faith in Christ ALONE for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
