Chastity, the virgin, shining in armour.

Hello, everyone! I've been very busy, but I hope you all have been making good choices.

Oh dear. Many of you might have heard about the Pope's recent statements, which all sorts of people have interpreted as saying that everyone, even atheists can go to Heaven. Some of my sisters have even agreed or said they might be open to the idea. To be honest, I do like the thought of a world where no one goes to Hell. But I can't say that I agree with that interpretation. This fellow here puts it into words well, in that I think Pope Francis was emphasizing that all humans are good and that we shouldn't draw lines between ourselves, between the saved and unsaved.  Everyone can do good even if they don't always follow the doctrines of the Church. They (and I) would prefer that people did, obviously, but we are all fallible, and I'd prefer not to go back to the days of burning heretics.

That seems to have irritated the Church, or at least some of the old guard. There'll be an interesting power struggle going on. It's enough to make me wish I was still male, as I was a few decades ago, since I'd love to be privy to it all. They don't tell nuns anything, which is part of the problem. Honestly, I know that I'm old-fashioned, but even I've grown frustrated with the Church as of late. I can't imagine it presents an inviting picture to non-Catholics.

Please at least attempt to make good and moral choices today.

I talked with a lovely young woman today who was thinking about taking her vows and devoting her life to the Church. It was a wonderful reminder that even in a changing world, there are still plenty of young people willing to give themselves completely to God.

Also, Lust, I assume I have you to thank for the recent pornography that was mailed to various churches around me. You, or someone who thinks remarkably like you.

Hello, everyone! I just arrived this morning (the airport is larger than I was expecting) and I can't wait to get settled in. I've heard on the grapevine that my siblings are here, as well as other members of the Host of Heaven. I'm very excited!
