Father Koys takes us on another “brain wrinkling” walk as he tackles the topsy turvy turbulent world leading him to the realization that the human race is messed up.  Fr. Koys wrinkles your brain to consider the historical times of the past as he relates it to the times of today to reflect that much has not changed.  He contemplates the time of the two popes: Pope Gregory the Tenth and Pope Martin the Fourth.  He discusses the historical impact of each of these Popes and how they impacted the Church: one unifying it and the other dividing it. He uses lessons from history to relate to our times today pointing out that we should learn from history and repeat the good and not the bad. He surmises that morals today are basic and should hold fast but unfortunately it is the other way around for many in the church today. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish
