Silent Servants...

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

A Secular Franciscan looks at the world...
with a more jaundiced eye than ever...
and lots of ellipses for you to fill in the missing text...

While enthusiasm is a good thing


caution is also something that must be considered.

Congregation for healing priest

He comes from an order of Charismatic priests, an order which believes in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and their active use today. He wasn't a member for that long, really, before he now leaves to start his own order so he can be free to do what he believes God wants him to do. I do hope that there's some oversight and control over him. Though this sort of behaviour frightens me a bit, my Order's founder, St. Francis, behaved in a similar manner. Still, we've seen far too many priests go off in wrong directions when left on their own...
