I found it interesting that these two "nuns" were going to pay their respects to Reagan!

[Pyro7480]

Catholic ping! (please read my account)

Interesting, although they sound like Butch Cavities & the Fundance Kid.

What a disgrace to the seraphic St. Francis, whose name has been usurped by a pagan organization. Thank God for the fellow Legion member (and for your assistance)!

[Pyro7480]

As I said to the other guy who was with the Legion of Mary member, "St. Francis supported the Crusades, and tried to convert the Sultan of the time!" At the end of their discussion, one of the "nuns" said to the Legion of Mary member, "You have given me a lot to digest." Let us pray that her evangelization bears fruit!

What a strange encounter. I have never heard of this cult. Surprised they were in line to pay respect to a conservative like Reagan?

[Pyro7480]

Oh definitely. I said as much above.

Thanks for posting this. It might seem strange stuff but it's no surprise here on this end; it's everywhere and drives much of what's going on in the Church.

Why would anyone be surprised they'd be in line to pay respect to a conservative?

[Pyro7480]

What do you mean?

[dangus]

OMG! I was next in line after them. There's no way we didn't meet. I was with a tall woman with long, dark curly hair who chewed their ears off for a good hunk of the wait. (She's looking into becoming a real nun and was trying to evangelize them into the RCC.)

[dangus]

Silly me, I didn't read the rest of your article before writing my first post... That "Woman who was on fire" was the woman I was there with!

[dangus]

That's so funny... I know who you are :)

[Pyro7480]

Were you talking to a young man who was wearing a dress shirt and navy blue dress pants about St. Francis of Assisi and the Crusades at some point?

[dangus]

Yup.

[Pyro7480]

Oh my goodness! God works in mysterious ways! We've probably seen each other's posts on here for years, and just coincidentally meeting each other!? That is too much!

[Pyro7480]

You have Freep mail.

I wouldn't be surprised if, while they're out here, these "nuns" aren't invited to give workshops and even homilies with the blessing of some bishops.

[dangus]

Hehehe... Yup... I just checked out your web page... I remember you talking about the guy from your home state of Delaware who rode his horse from Dove to Philly.
