Silent Servants...

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

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

Bene Diction might Rant On

with a rant no doubt brought on the the killing of the physician while serving in his church...

I’ve had it with Christians today

But there really is a place for this righteous anger.

"You are not the assistant Holy Spirit."
I love this! It applies to everyone who seems certain of the 'rightness' of their position and demand that others obey that rightness. I think of traditional Catholics when I write this, who are certain that nothing after the Council of Trent is correct or from God. It applies to all of us. None of us are the Holy Spirit's assistant, nor do we have a hotline to God, however much we think we're God's buddies...
