Yeah, we’ve got some crazy Franciscans in downtown Boston as well, although they do have convenient confession hours during the day. We also have some Oblates that have reintroduced Perpetual Adoration and even have put up advertisements in the subway and on highway hoardings about it, so things are not all bad.

I will say this regarding the Franciscans . . . they are sometimes downright kooky, and almost always somewhat eccentric, and almost always liberal too.

But they're honest by their lights, and I've never met a really mean one -- they tend to be somewhat emphatic, but they're never nasty or slippery.

Can't say the same for some other orders . . . .
