The ONLY voices that survived the death of the Cathedral due to NC were BODY VOICES.
But paradoxically, this gives us hope. Body voices are WORLDLY VOICES and as such, they CANNOT BE CHANGED. But we DON'T NEED TO!!!! The Bible says that, when one is reborn in Christ, it is NOT a change of those voices, but the birth of a NEW SELF IN GOD, and a DEATH TO THE WORLD!
So... if THAT'S what the horror of NC instigated, then GOOD. All of that old lost corrupted mess can STAY DEAD, and we won't "rebuild it," but build something TOTALLY NEW as a Catholic washed clean in the Blood of Christ!!!
So STOP REVISITING THE RUINS OF THE PAST. STOP TRYING TO SALVAGE THEM OR FIND HOPE IN THE RUBBLE. THERE'S NONE THERE. YOU NEED TO STAND UP, TURN YOUR BACK TO IT, LOOK FORWARD TO JESUS, AND WALK AWAY FROM THE OLD WORLD AND TOWARDS THE NEW LIFE IN GOD!!! You literally CANNOT HAVE BOTH.
