Dear Pope Benedict XVI:
Thank you for the opportunity to write you via Tweet.  Extremely intelligent of you to use electonic’s way of speaking to God’s people.

My question of you is this:

Why don’t you speak to the cardinals, bishops, priests of America to start recognizing that many Catholics leave their Catholic roots because they see so much hypocracy in the most well-known Catholics in the U.S., including our priests throughout.

These Catholics are in the public’s eye, usually known as calling themselves Catholic, receiving the most Holy Eucharist in the state of sin because they promote, vote for, popularize secular views such as Abortion, so-called same sex marriage, and a variety of other well-known popular sins of America.

Including the above, we, most of we American Catholics, are not being talked to in truth, because, the people might leave if priests get too tough and talk about the commandments and what they mean so the homilies are filled with lots of “love” and a variety of other things, such as almost repeating the gospel.

Another example of a problem is - during the last year, we in U.S. have witnessed through Timothy Cardinal Dolan, exemplary action on the HHS Mandate. If it weren’t for Catholic Radio and TV we wouldn’t know literally anything.  I have friends in 5 parishes and we meet for prayer and bible study.  None of us ever heard our priests speak of “prayer” during the petitions of the Mass for those who were fighting the battle which would end the rights and liberties of our church as we know it here in the United States.  Not a small subject, right?

We need priests that are filled with our truths, won’t stand for hypocracy in our churches and stand for keeping it that way.  No pussy footing around anymore.  No different than Jesus was, nor would be here on earth. 

How will we survive in America without your help, your guidelines, doing what their Bishops request, etc., and not just do what they want because they are the head of their own parishes - they must do and save this country from the lies that are being perpetrated through your guidance and the Truth of God.

Thank you for much for giving me this opportunity.  I do believe the soul must be saved first but when “lies” are allowed in our Catholic Church to be perpetuated, our souls are doomed.

God bless you,

Dear Pope Benedict XVI:

I would like to ask you a question through Twitter but I am not sure I can accept the terms. One of the terms is that I would only be able to use the service in compliance with all local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations. I don’t have full knowledge of these laws, rules, and regulations so only with God’s help could I be compliant. How do I deal with contracts such as these? I have failed contracts in the past, I realize God’s grace and forgiveness is there through Christ, but I am trying to perfect myself going forward.

Thanks,

Jason Lee Davis

Abba….  Holy Father,  My heart is heavy with the onset of your retirement.  I know we are not to be afraid.  However, your stepping away from the Seat of Peter may be necessary.  To that end I ask your forebearance, and simply ask Our Lord to keep you in His Peace.  I also ask Our Holy Mother protect you… ‘Auspice Maria’...  I was praying that I could visit you in the Spring and seek your blessing for I am called in a measure not fully understood??  As a Catechist and Adult Formation Director here at St. Philip the Apostle, Warrenville, Conn., the full reality of what the New Evangelization infers is in fact a re-evangelization of those whose catholicity was left to flounder after Confirmation!  Jesus told Peter to Feed His Lambs, tend His sheep, and to Feed His sheep…  We as Catholic must be fed on Sustanance of the Word for the better part of our adult lives.  It is my hope and prayer that Father Kennedy’s vision and any way I can help in design and implement my curriculum to build St. Philip the Apostle Center for Biblical Theology, will go a long way in the re-evangelization of our communion of the Faithful.  You have called us to Communio and I have prepared so, for a role in the Body of Christ as a Deacon.  Not called at the diocesan level…but as an apostolic deacon. I awoke one morning after difficult prayer and found that He marked His presence so that I never forget that He is with me always!! St. Benedict is my patron and John Paul I, my spiritual confessor who calls me to ‘SEEK’... As a Benedictine OBLATE I look to serve where ever I am called.  Most especially to serve the Seat of St. Peter.  So, until we can meet regardless of where He takes you, may His peace be your constant.

PAX Christi….  robt. drake
