He talks about the impact of having faithful Catholic men in his life. And he shares the freedom he experienced when he was finally released from the grip of “careerism” holding so many men today.

The Church at large fell into great error…. Many in the hierarchy were morally compromised. Many were too cowardly to stand up for the Truth. Many were just flat-out corrupt. Political intrigue abounded within the ranks of the hierarchy…. Good bishops were marginalized, sidelined and even forced into hiding. Sound Catholic doctrine seemed to be abandoned wholesale for a new “revolution” in doctrine. The entire Church seemed on the verge of collapsing. If you think I’m talking about the Church of today, think again! This was the state of the Church back in the 3rd Century during the Arian crisis! To quote a famous sci-fi show, “This has all happened before. And it will all happen again.” If history is repeating itself, we need to be prepared for the fight to come. In today’s episode of The Bear Woznick Adventure, Fr. Mark Goring and I talk about today’s crisis in the Church and what you and I should be doing to fight back against the worldly errors, corruption and dark forces that have crept into the Church.
