People are angry. When they become angry, they usually look for someone or something to blame. All too often lately, the media outlets have become the target. Do I think that some of the media outlets have an anti-Christian slant? That is a fact. Can we blame everything that is wrong in the world only on that fact? Absolutely not because we have become, like the Jews in the book of Kings, a house divided. We have lost our way and we have become two tribes. 1 Kings 12:26 says, "Jeroboam thought to himself: The kingdom will return to David's house." That was a prophesy about the coming of Jesus Christ. If we know one thing from reading the Bible, God stands by His word. The house of David, in the person of Jesus, did return to power. Jesus came to lead the Jews back to the Temple and to God. But something else happened along the way. The Gentiles were offered a place at the table and thankfully, they accepted. The Catholic Church was formed and has continued for over 2010 years but we are not unified. Are we listening and trusting in God? I think some of us are but we are definitely a house divided. That is why I was so happy when Pope Benedict XVI assumed his papacy. Pope Benedict knows what it means to be Catholic and he is listening to God. He is trying to unite the division by providing the wisdom of the word. It is hard to live in the U.S. and be a Catholic. But just as the Jews suffered in exile all of those years, we are called to teach our children and hold true to the beliefs passed down by Jesus himself. Our suffering will not be in vain. The house of David shall rise again.
