There's also a site set up for prayers of any kind: https://www.prayforcantius.com/<br /><br />Please also pray for the accuser, and for Cardinal Cupich and his advisors.<br /><br />God bless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-10383055096788882782018-03-19T09:41:35.797-04:002018-03-19T09:41:35.797-04:00Bee,

At a minimum Cupich should be accompanying Father Phillips. <br /><br />Our prayers and thoughts are with Father Phillips and the entire St. John Cantius family.<br /><br />TJMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-38784324844039601062018-03-18T16:09:45.308-04:002018-03-18T16:09:45.308-04:00God bless you, your parish and Father!God bless you, your parish and Father!Fr.

The fact that those most virulently opposed to Pope Benedict and St. John Paul II are praising Pope Francis says it all.<br /><br />And Pope Benedict knows this and thus indirectly but most skillfully is sending a rebuke to Pope Francis but via a letter that was marked personal and confidential knowing that Vigano would share it with the pope or the world.<br /><br />The question is did Vigano share it with Pope Francis and did Pope Francis edit it for his benefit and want it published by Vatican Radio to strike out against Pope Benedict--that's the million dollar or euro question, no?Fr.

An Argentine theologian, Victor Fernandez, took issue with it and published some controversial essays, extracts of which surfaced more than a decade later in Ch.8 of AL.<br /><br />Benedict is, of course aware of this, and the fact that the same Fernandez is PF's ghost-writer and theological guru. One wonders why the doctored letter was released in the first place. Admirers of PF (like Austen Ivereigh) stress 'paradigm shift' rather than continuity, and traditionally-minded Catholics have little confidence in Francis anyway.John Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027156691859606002noreply@blogger.com
