Bl. Franz Jägerstätter is a better model to imitate, not Bonhoeffer

You're probably not having a spiritual attack or the passive night of the soul. You're just drinking too much, not exercising, eating like a 4-year-old home alone, staring at screens all day like that monkey in Toy Story 3, generally not that virtuous, and overdue for confession.

with all due respect, you should learn what a formed conscience consists in and the duty of procuring one as a Catholic; the remarks you have now publicly given are out of skew and betray a faulty understanding that is liable to cause yourself and others who read this much harm
My Catholic Priest publicly announced at every mass he was denying me Holy Communion following the assisted dying vote. Children who are friends of my children were there. This followed a direct threat in writing to do this four days before the vote. 1/3 observer.co.uk/news/national/…
This chapel underwent some changes, here is what it used to look like (it is also home to the tomb of Fr Jean Grou SJ, excellent Jesuit spiritual writer)
