"Truth is not determined by the majority vote". Even if there are just a couple of hundred of us in a field that will not alter the Truth about Humanae Vitae :-) The media will pounce on the paucity of people attending as some kind of proof that the Church is out of touch…..but as Our beloved Pope famously uttered when Cardinal… “Truth is not determined by the majority vote”.

There is no guarantee. As a faith we all need to be a visible witness and be seen coming out in large numbers. Apathy is not an option for the countries parishes on this Papal visit. As for idle Liberals. They need to decide where there priorities lie instead of wasting every bodies time.

got a few “aged liberals” around up here too (north wales). sad i guess, for them to see their trendy hopes linger for a whole generation, never quite overtake the norm, and then grow feeble. there must be a name for this phenomenon that we'll all soon have in our vocabulary.

as for the indifferent we got more than a few.

as for the flood of tickets, i'll resist coveting till at least early sept.

Many of our parishners are aged liberals who have no time for the Holy Father, the rest are utterly indifferent and sit gormless in the pews uninterested in anything except ensuring their kid gets into the local RC school.
