You are a flower amongst the flack, and I thank you. I just happen to be a fan of Catherine of Sienna, and so getting attacked over an honest query about her hit me particularly wrong, especially today. And when I saw from where it came, it really feels like a bigger message. I'm fed up, and it's been a long, long, long time of the same thing. Peace.
I would humbly suggest reading the comments on Father Z’s site. Context is given along with the fact that St. Catherine called a Pope to task herself.
“I just happen to be a fan of Catherine of Sienna, and so getting attacked over an honest query about her hit me particularly wrong, especially today.”
Yes, you’re such a big fan that you spell it as Sienna.
And here was the answer to your honest query - which you apparently won’t deal with:
“Jesus was talking about setting a man against his father in His own day and metaphorically later on. He was not discussing what Catherine said. Jesus was talking about faith in Him setting a man against his father. Catherine was talking about a man being obedient to his father because of faith in Christ.”
Keep skipping it and we’ll all see how “honest” your “query” was.
