Making waves, speaking out, saving souls, and reforming the reform!

Oringinally Posted at: Orthometer: Why Do You Do It? Why Do You Make Waves?

So you, son of man, I have made a watchman for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.But if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but you will have saved your life.
--Ezekiel 33: 7-9

I came home and this was posted over at Orthometer... and boy did I need it. I had just come from a chance meeting with someone from my new parish area, and had a talk about this very subject. I was worried that I was not on the right path or mind-track, but I realized that we are called to uphold the commands of God. Sometimes it isn't popular but it is always required.
