Not exactly Franciscan spirituality

According to Rev John Hardon SJ, “Franciscans….have also promoted such popular devotions as the Angelus, the Way of the Cross, and the Crib. They were always strong defenders of the Immaculate Conception, long before the dogma was formally defined by the Church.”

It is very interesting how the ‘peace’-loving contemporary followers of St Francis consistently overlook that. (I am speaking mainly about the people who, having no idea who St Francis actually was, follow him as a hippie. you know, just give peace a chance.) They go off on these tangents in the name of St Francis or Gospel living, while actually being totally ignorant of them.

What trashy people these homosexual activists are! They are the minions of Satan. If we don’t actively involve ourselves in opposing them at every turn, they will destroy the Church in this country. Our bishops need to hear from us.

I hope you do a follow-up on this, Jeff. I’m interested to know how Bishop Grahmann will respond.

What I said on Gerald’s blog:

“So,…,how long before one of Fr. Rohr’s bosom buddies decides to make a little coin by saying that Fr. Rohr improperly touched him? After all, I imagine a fellow’s balls can get a nasty burn if he’s stupid enough to jump over camp-fires naked,…,”Oh, Tim,…,that looks bad,…,here let me put some salve on that,…,” (I apologize for the disgusting mental image I am creating, but you get the point.)

And here comes a multi-million dollar lawsuit. In this case, I’d say the diocese saw it coming with this fool and deserves it – but unfortunately that money comes out of the collection plate.”
