Silent Servants...

... of the Used, Abused, and Utterly Screwed Up.

A Secular Franciscan looks at the world...
with a more jaundiced eye than ever...

Particularly in the U.S.

Apparitions are 'in'...

Marian miracles plunge Christians into a ferment

Individuals, perhaps, but not the Church...

"The Pope may wish, Barltrop adds, to put apparitions in their proper place in a journey of faith: "While apparitions can be helpful in getting people’s faith off the ground, we believe faith has to mature and not to rest too much on what we see and touch. If our faith is based too much on apparitions it is not well founded.""
