Carpe Diem

Archbishop Miligo decided to venture beyond 800 years of Roman Catholic celibate tradition by marrying rather than be twisted in knots around the the second blessing.  Meanwhile, the Roman Catholic Church is daily embroiled in more and more lawsuits as more an more sexual abuse is revealed by the victims of current and past members of religious orders.  It takes courage to move against the way it has always been done. 

 

Hm. I wonder. Can the cycles of history be restored without venturing into the caldron of current events?  Are we able tor recognize where we are and take effective, corrective action. I am thinking it is being a part of the  maelstrom of events which determines whether the destructive cycle is repeated or transformed. Who can say with assurance that the die has been cast, history has been repeated? I'll leave that to God. For me, we are at a threshold. The crux is . . . have enough of the Creator's children matured sufficiently to transform a historical mistake rather than be run over by it?  Are we observing history cycling as victims and by-standers or are we able to "carpe diem".
