Solemnity of All Saints celebrated 2025

One of peculiarities of my generation is that the Christian Calendar which I try to follow is often adjusted to avoid????

Jesus only ever condemned the religious practices of his contemporaries when they became hypocrisy.

The Apostles had to modify their personal adherence to the "Law of Moses" to avoid binding their Gentile converts with the scruples that Jesus had condemned. 

St Paul knows that "meat sacrificed to idols" is still just meat for the act of sacrificing to idols is a meaningless act made to the non-existent, but if his newly converted are being scandalised he will avoid it to avoid adding unnecessary stress to the "weak". 

I suppose that adjustment to the Calendar and the ignoring of "Holydays of Obligation" has come about in the same spirit displayed in Paul's letters to the Corinthians but what is the spirit of "these times" that supports the "Pride" in fornication and "Slaughter of the Innocents" by distributing the Body and Blood of Christ not only to the known perpetrators but also to the politically powerful who encourage these sins?

All the events recorded in Scripture are either historically or allegorically true; they are the Truth that comes from God with the purpose of guiding us on the Way, Truth and Life. No-one has ever seen IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. The Book of the Apocalypse finalizes Revelation. 

Each generation since the Resurrection has been composed of individuals who are able to listen to the WORD, do the WILL and to finally become part of the WONDER of the Eternal Spiritual Creation revealed in this world only to John and the other visionary prophets.

We are all able to become Saints of God in Heaven for from the Cross we have all been made members of his New Holy Family here on Earth in order for us to receive the super-abundant grace of the Resurrection but it is we who have to make the right choice. 

God help us. Amen
