Something interesting

A quote I found in our local Right to Life newsletter reads as follows:

"It's a dumb dog that doesn't bark when the wolf is among the flock!" - Pope St. Gregory the Great

This was brought about due to the bishops that say nothing to pro-abort politicians(i.e. Pelosi). I say it goes further. If you are in a place of authority and you know there are innocent souls in danger, you have an obligation to do SOMETHING. While I don't expect any human to be perfect, I do expect those in positions of authority to take it seriously and not abuse that power.
So what do you do when there is a wolf amongst the flock? I mean as a layperson? Do you tell someone? Who do you tell? I am stuck without a spiritual director now and have no one to go to. God allowed me to see certain things(I am positive it was not a coincidence in timing) and now I sit wondering "God, what is it you would like me to do?" I have never been afraid to speak the truth. But when I feel those who I would tell would think it is not our concern when souls are being lost left and right, really, what can I do? This has troubled me for weeks now and I am still not certain where God is leading me. I need to go to Mass(you know the one where I won't be jolted by a "liturgical surprise") and pray on this.

In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
