Jesus Did Not Request The Keys Back From Peter
It is understandable how many Catholics feel betrayed and confused in light of the current crisis in the Church. Bad priests, sexually abusing bishops, and cardinals who lie and deceive to cover up for eachothers mortal sins. These can fuel the desire to give up, but there has been 2000 years of deceivers, false shepherds, heretics, Borgia popes, child abusers and murderers in the priesthood.
Yet, Jesus never gave the Keys to Peter with conditions. He never stated that Peter would lose the keys if he messed up. In 2000 years he has never asked for them back.
SO despite the mortal sin in the Church reaching the highest of levels, this is where we encounter Jesus. IF we continue to go to Him in the Eucharist and confession and hold to nothing else, we can survive.
But, I do wish Lord, for the sake of the victims of abuse, you could clean things up quickly.
Saint Catherine of Siena, pray for us. Saint Peter Damian pray for us.
