Fr. Obregon is an Eastern Orthodox Priest of Cuban extraction. Just thought I'd point that out.

I don't find his comments particularly agreeable from a Catholic POV. What does it really mean to call someone "good" this side of heaven?

I can barely read anything besides Scripture these days. I know God used various men to point us back to truth—Luther being one of them—but shouldn’t we actually GO BACK? Their explanation of Romans, for example, pales in comparison to reading ROMANS!

There the Spirit directly communicates truth in a way impossible for utterances x-level removed.
