Father Koys takes us on another “brain wrinkling” walk as he tackles his take on ambiguity-the good and the bad. Father Koys states that ambiguity can have a good or bad impact. He uses the example of Pope Gregory X to illustrate his point, referencing that Pope Gregory was ambiguous in regards to requiring the Eastern church to add the filioque clause to their version of the Creed. Today he illustrates ambiguity in the words of Pope Leo as he references words spoken by him in either speeches or in responses to questions posed where he deems Pope Leo being ambiguous around the importance of matters of sexuality and sexual immorality in the Church. He surmises that ambiguity can have a positive impact when it allows for unity, tolerance and coexistence but can have a negative impact when it allows for confusion, anger, betrayal, or other negative responses. For his preference he would like to see clarity rather than ambiguity especially in matters of great importance to the Catholic Church.

Father Anthony with Cristina and Tony regroup today after the weekend. Father Anthony offers daily prayer with the Litany to the Sacred Heart. Father refers to the period of the Era of Martyrs more specifically to the end of the period of martyrdom which failed to end Christianity. He refers to and reads from writings of Pope Damasus I on the martyrdom of Saint Peter. He talks about references Pope Benedict XVI made to the Great Apostasy and talks about how we are continuing the writing of the story of our church today; the story staying the same but the times change. He reminds us the need to recognize the need to stay true to the church and focus on serving God in humility calling for metanoia. Father discusses how the moving away from God to focus on the SELF has caused this disorientation both from outside and inside of the church. They discuss the need to remain true to Catholicism despite all the challenges faced with today and keep the Church as a reverent and holy place.
