The voice of Saint Catherine of Siena, which challenged the bishops of her time, is perfectly applicable to our reality.

 "LET NOT THE SEVERE WORD OF TRUTH BE ADDRESSED TO YOU WHEN SHE SAID: 'CURSED BE YOU FOR BEING SILENT'".

From the depths of the centuries, the cry of Saint Catherine addressed to bishops and cardinals who silently witness the slaughter of souls perpetrated today with their complicit silence...

"[…]Poor me! Poor me! My wretched soul! Open your eyes and look carefully at the perversity of death that has entered the world, and especially into the Holy Church, the mystical body of Jesus.

Poor me! May your heart and soul burst at the sight of so many offenses committed against God! See, Father, that the devil, the infernal wolf, kidnaps men, the sheep that feed in the garden of the Holy Church; and there is no one who moves to snatch them from his mouth. The shepherds sleep in their self-love, in the same greed and filth;  And they are so drunk with pride that they sleep and don't even feel themselves, even though they see that the devil, the infernal wolf, is stealing the life of grace from them and even from those entrusted to them. They don't care: and all this is due to the perversity of their self-love. How dangerous self-love is in bishops, priests, and the people entrusted to them!

You are a bishop; if you have self-love, you do not correct the defects you see in those entrusted to you: because if you love yourself for yourself, you fall into human respect, and therefore you do not intervene to correct. If you loved yourself for God's sake, however, you would not fear human respect; courageously, with a strong heart, you would correct the defects, and you would not remain silent or pretend not to see.

Dearest Father, I want you to be free from self-love.  I beg you to live so that the Truth will not address you with that stern, reproachful word, when it said: "Cursed be you, because you remained silent."

Woe to me! Be silent no longer! Cry out with a hundred thousand tongues! I see that, through silence, the world is in ruins, and the holy Church, the Bride of Jesus, has become all pale and no longer has her color, because her blood has been sucked from her: the blood of Jesus, given to us by grace and not to satisfy a debt, is stolen by evil shepherds through pride for their own gain, taking away the glory that should be God's and giving it to themselves. They steal with simony, selling the gifts and graces given to us by grace, at the price of the blood of the Son of God. […]".
