  • The blog header depicts an important and yet mis-understood New Testament scene, Jesus flogging the money-changers out of the temple. I selected it because the faith that gives us consolation can also make us very uncomfortable. Both Divine Mercy and Divine Justice meet in Jesus. Priests are ministers of reconciliation, but never at the cost of truth. In or out of season, we must be courageous in preaching and living out the Gospel of Life. The title of my blog is a play on words, not Flogger Priest but Blogger Priest.

Bishop Schneider’s CREDO #204

Posted on November 2, 2023 by Father Joe

I am rereading the sections of CREDO by Bishop Schneider that should probably become a matter of serious dialogue.

According to Christian faith, it is true that there is one covenant, not two. It is true that we are saved by faith in Jesus Christ and not through the works of the Old Law. Our Lord and the sacraments make possible saving grace. But it is also true that God does not forget his promises or his first people. There is a trajectory of faith that would compel me to question the proposition that Judaism as a religion established by God was utterly terminated with the coming of the Messiah.
