Rev. Mother Superior heard the same message at Mass today. Her thoughts is that this is LONG OVERDUE!Our wonderful young new priest gave a lovely homily about these nuns today and discussed the pruning of the vine to make it stronger. I say it’s about time!
Rev. Mother Superior heard the same message at Mass today. Her thoughts is that this is LONG OVERDUE!In this case, I think an analogy of removing noxious weeds to keep it from choking and killing the vine would be more appropriate.
Our not-so-wonderful old priest gave a disturbing homily about these nuns yesterday, and said how it was wrong to criticize them over "unimportant" issues when they were doing such good work for the poor. This is the church we only occasoinally attend, as selling free-trade coffee after Mass is clearly a bigger priority for them over the unborn. The prayer list always includes the homeless, but never the unborn--and so on. But it wasn't until yesterday that I realized that this priest is a full-blown unapologetic Leftist, unafraid to publicly oppose the Vatican. I wrote to the Deacon's wife today who I know personally to try to get a feel for the reaction to this atrocious homily.
