I’ve read your story and I find it awesome and quite horrible, that
it would be happening in this country, and that church officials
are just as crooked and devious as public authorities. Our Church
is being ruined from within. I am very sad that you have been
treated this way by all who are suppose to help and protect you.
Where are the Christians that are courageous in the heat of battle?
This fight is with the devil himself. Stay close to your guardian angel. You are in my prayers, Fr. Gordon.
Will Pray for you, Persevere in your faith,our Lord will have a crown for you in the end. I am so moved by your writing on the Mass and the Eucharist.
My heart goes out to you.May our Lord Bless you and keep you close to him always
