How is the Holy Mother Church able to invite our separated brothers and sisters back into the fold if we hold such strong feelings of animosity, implying that they know full well what they are doing by their separation resulting from their cultural heritage. It takes time to convince and persuade towards the truth, using reason in the faith. The virtue of humility should moderate those who profess to be righteous in their cause. Obedience to proper authority will be noted more mercifully than self assurance of righteousness on these matters such as the witnesses of Saint Thomas Aquinas and Saint Padre Pio as well as many many other pillars of the faith. Please consider praying for the virtues necessary for holiness in these matters for them and for us.
