"BTW, I don't know who that figure is that's labeled "F.F." --- do you?"

Not sure of the answer for that myself, but could it be referring to the order that Father Weinandy belongs to, which I believe is one of the "Franciscan Friars" orders (see his name, and the numerous references to various Franciscan Friars orders on this web page), and perhaps others in his order are witnessing all this, but are not speaking up publicly in defense of the Father?

(Just a guess.)

I dunno. Fr. Tom is O.F.M. Cap (Order of Friars Minor, Capuchin) and the Remnant wouldn't be likely to dumb that down to "Franciscan Friars" , especially since there are other flavors of Franciscans out there that they would be confused with. Besides, the guy in the cartoon doesn't look like a Franciscan at all.

I am not very good at Catholic Inside Baseball. I only know a couple of names and faces.
