What is happening with:<BR/><BR/>Sr. Leah<BR/>Fr. Bozak<BR/>St Stanislas<BR/>etal<BR/><BR/>They splash the news headlines for a moment, then they disappear into history. Do we know what has and is happening with each of these?COL55https://www.blogger.com/profile/07057765287988790129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-43190204260166128262009-02-08T10:26:00.000-07:002009-02-08T10:26:00.000-07:00This is a Kairos moment for the Church, but it's n...This is a Kairos moment for the Church, but it's not just the Church. The days of business as usual are coming to a close.<BR/><BR/>Right relationships are absolutely critical to any more forward progress in the consciousness of humanity. I look at Obama's attempts to engage in right relationships with the republicans and am not surprised that only three republican senators get it.<BR/><BR/>I don't think it's surprising that two of the three are women. The era of right relationships is about women and women's knowing. It's a very big indication of the changing global energy. Right along with the fact nothing can be kept secret any longer--especially deep dark secrets.colkochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432916690101599393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-87281916277631983812009-02-08T09:14:00.000-07:002009-02-08T09:14:00.000-07:00I feel for Fr.

It's not just Fr Kennedy that is getting the boot or the axe. or that will feel this death of relationship. <BR/><BR/>I composed a very somber piece last night and it's either a Requiem or a funeral march and it seems that the news from the Vatican is getting more deadly spiritually for the entire Church with all the excommunications and threats. I wish they would put their axes away and learn to be in right relationships with people and priests who are serving God.<BR/><BR/>I'm so tempted to entitle the piece Requiem for the Excommunicators or Funeral March for its becoming ever so evident that they have spiritually died in their stubborn refusal to "love one another" and refusal to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."<BR/><BR/>I am thinking about Terence's comment now and that the Holy Spirit will find a way to turn this setback around.butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684946870144030594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-78574310780967575272009-02-08T07:51:00.000-07:002009-02-08T07:51:00.000-07:00Back in South Africa in the dark days of apartheid...Back in South Africa in the dark days of apartheid, one of the key features of the church for me was the emphasis on the mission of 'Justice & Peace'. And every J & P workshop I ever attended began with a lengthy exposition of the importance of 'right relationships.' Once again, it seems, the hierarchical church is promoting one set of principles for justice outside the church, but working to an entirely different set of standards (one can hardly call them 'principles' internally.<BR/><BR/>I feel for Fr Kennedy, but am conscious that the church is bigger than the hierarchy. John McNeill and J.S O'Leary have both written of a present 'Kairos Moment' in which the Holy Spirit is working to transform the power balance within the church. I have no doubt that the Spirit will find a way to turn around this setback for Fr Kennedy and St Mary's, to the benefit of the wider church.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-5593853376555589692009-02-07T13:07:00.000-07:002009-02-07T13:07:00.000-07:00River, every culture has a word for it ... it is c...River, every culture has a word for it ... it is called hate.<BR/><BR/>This action is sad, but not unexpected. This was predictable and expected. It is part of the seperation of light and notlight that is occuring right now. Expect to see more persecution of those who are "truly faithful to Christ" bu the RCC in the future.<BR/><BR/>No doubt the faithful orthodox will be screaming like steeler fans during the last 35 min of the superbowl, screaming, giving vent to the hate that is the core of their belief. The hate that has formed the core of the "faithful orthodox" of the catholic church and RCC leadership for far too long is now being revealed for the world to see. It is ugly. It is festering. It is a boil on the face of the RCC, a boil that everyone who looks can see.COL55https://www.blogger.com/profile/07057765287988790129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-7151745749479936262009-02-07T11:30:00.000-07:002009-02-07T11:30:00.000-07:00This is the saddest post i have read or yours Co...This is the saddest post i have read or yours Colleen,it tears the heart. . . <BR/><BR/>"Jesus wept" the shortest sentence in the Bible, surely Jesus is weeping. Such a double bind for these priest. The Church ordains them as Jesus with skin, they are to be the living vessels and embodiment of Christ to the church, but Pope forbid if they truly walk as Christ walked???<BR/><BR/>Once again it is sad to see the slight of hands and the double binds where the cards are stacked ideologically, this is an all too normal happening in our world of control religions. Power uses the light to express predicate its darkness, and darkness cloaks itself in light.<BR/><BR/>In Native America we have a name for that phenomena.sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704407318593137610noreply@blogger.com
