The greatest threat to our beloved nation does not come from foreign invaders, but rather from a sinister force that lurks within: the corruption of our moral fiber. This venom has seeped into every aspect of our society, poisoning our marriages, corrupting our youth, tarnishing our culture, and even contaminating our sources of entertainment, education, and communication. It is a corrosion that has been silently eating away at us for decades, slowly eroding the very foundations of our nation. We must be wary, for our enemies will not be able to conquer us from the outside unless we first crumble from within. The signs of this insidious implosion are becoming more evident with each passing day, gaining momentum and strength to bring us closer to the brink of cultural collapse.
The malevolent presence of Satan looms, intent on nothing short of eradicating the very essence of God's fatherhood from this world. The wise words of St. John Paul II ring true as he emphasizes the crucial role of fathers in families, “is to reveal and relive on earth the very fatherhood of God” iterating any true understanding or affection towards God the Father, especially among the minds of innocent children, by shattering the foundations of earthly fatherhood. With divorce, abandonment, distractions, and vices like alcohol and pornography, coupled with the distorted concept of same-sex unions, Satan is thriving in his attempts to dismantle the strength and masculinity of modern fatherhood, both within and beyond the walls of the Church.
In a rapidly changing world, the future of our children and grandchildren is at stake. As a result, I am drawn to men's conferences where the majority of attendees are under the age of 40. Far too often, these younger dads with little ones at home are overlooked in such gatherings. However, in this era of increasing anti-Christian sentiments, it is crucial that we prioritize and cater to their unique needs in conference planning and venue, topic selection, and recruitment efforts. Let us come together and equip the next generation of fathers for the challenges they will face in the 21st century.
The realm of pornography is a treacherous battleground for men of the Catholic faith, spanning across all generations. But fear not, for I am seeking bold individuals who dare to pioneer a parish-based gathering in the name of spiritual growth. These conferences will delve deep into the souls of our youth, nurturing their minds and hearts alike, equipping them with unshakeable faith to withstand the challenges of our modern society. However, bear in mind that this is not a conventional approach - we must break away from tradition to prevent our children from abandoning their religious beliefs like the majority of young adult Catholics have done. Will you answer the call?
I am a firm believer that when you nurture Men in the ways of holiness, their impact can reverberate down three generations. That is why the CMCS Team is grateful for your presence with CMCS today.
