Laity Need to Stand Up!


We, as the Laity of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, need to stand up and defend the principles of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  Many people have the opinion that the Clergy of the Catholic Church are not exactly "doing their job".  In my opinion, they are doing their job.  They are consecrating the Host, hearing our confession and administering the other sacrements. For Catholics out their who are not satisfied with the activities of our Bishops, or lack of activity, you should understand one thing:  It's our job, as the Laity, to spread the Gospels of Jesus Christ. 

Don't complain about the Bishops and Priests not doing their job when you bite your tongue at work when an opportunity arises to preach the teachings of our Lord.  Don't whine about the Clergy when you won't/don't bring your children to Mass.  Don't sob over the welfare of our Church if you're not willing to prey for the unborn and act on their behalf.  The Catholic Church is our Church.  It is a Gift given to us by our Lord, Jesus Christ. 

We, as the Laity, need to drive the Church to greatness and urge our Priests and Bishops to act according to the teachings of the Church (especially those hedonists at Notre Dame).  Let them do their job and administer the Sacraments.  We need to do our job and preach the word of our Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God.
