Weathering the Storm
Spreading Reason in Face of Hype
In face of the media hype and truly
scandalous behavoir surrounding the current Church scandals,
many faithful feel they have been thrown alone into rough
seas. They desperately search for a voice of reason to lead
them to calmer waters.
Hoping to provide such a voice,
the Rochester, N.Y. chapter of Call
to Holiness sponsored a launching for the hard-hitting
book just authored by the TFP Commission for American Issues,
I Have Weathered Other Storms: A Response to the Scandals
and Democratic Reforms that Threaten the Catholic Church,
was presented at the Locust Hill Country Club on December
15 with a standing-room-only attendance of over 70 people.
Call to Holiness is an organization of Catholics, founded
to defend and support the Church Magisterium through prayer,
education and evangelization.
The event represents the first of
many local launchings planned for St. Louis, Mo., Washington,
D.C. and elsewhere across the nation.
"In launching this book nationwide,
we hope to dispel all the dark emotion
clouding the issue, by presenting the light of traditional
Church teaching," said TFP director John Horvat, who
is currently leading the book's marketing and promotion
effort.
In spite of forecasts predicting
over a foot of snow, the temperature remained above freezing.
"It was as if Providence smiled upon us," said
local TFP coordinator Norman Fulkerson. "If we had
gotten the snow that was predicted, it would have been much
more difficult and even dangerous for people to attend the
launching."
Mr. Fulkerson hopes that the book
will become a handbook for American Catholics as they weather
these scandals.
"This book was not printed to
collect dust on a shelf, but to be studied seriously,"
said Mr. Fulkerson, addressing the attendees. "If you
become well acquainted with its content, you will have all
the arguments you need to defend the Church against those
trying to use these scandals to sully Her."
