I was thinking about posting this video too. Maybe I'll just link here. Until this gets rectified, I'm sure Catholics can find other ways to give charitable donations. I have been supporting Chalice; I sure hope they don't turn out like D&P!
Last night a Jesuit priest said to me that the early church was a real light to the nations and people would see the community of believers and want to be like them. He believed that the church has lost that beacon that attracts people.
I think it is because of scandals like this that we are not the light to the world that we should be.
Nancy, your comment is awesome. i.e. "Help the charitable work of the Church without the Marxist middlemen". Can you pls repost your comment in its entirity on the D&P YouTube video? I suspect a lot of Bishops and priests are being forced to watch the video. Yours is a comment they'd find striking and thought-provoking. Thanks. -SaltyCatholic
A paramedic who loves her job, but first and foremost, a traditional Catholic who recognizes the tremendous grace and privilege of belonging to the Catholic faith.
And yes, I use Canadian spelling. Humour, centre, colour and such. If you think it's spelled wrong, it's just the Canadian way!
Prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas for thanksgiving after Holy Communion
Workman's prayer to St. Joseph
Glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever recoiling before weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after your example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.
O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of your departed servant Joe. Be not severe in your judgement, but let some drops of Your Precious Blood fall upon him, and send, O merciful Savior, Your angels to conduct him to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.
"Because out of reverence towards this sacrament, nothing touches it, but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest's hands, for touching this sacrament." - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS, Summa Theologica

Another possiblity is to donate directly to the Holy Father's charity, Cor Unum. Help the charitable work of the Church without the Marxist middlemen.

Aid to the Church in Need would also be a good alternative.
