Priest and prophet forage in a land they know not.
I still can’t get my mind around this.
Feminist priests - not women priests - but the PC boyz - baptising kids using gender-neutral language; the baptisms were not only illicit, but invalid.
Just think, Fr. John Doe’s parents were members of a dissident/progressive parish. Little Johnny was baptised using the following formula:
”I baptize you in the name of the Creator, and of the Redeemer, and of the Sanctifier.” - Words Matter
What’s the big deal?
He’s not even a Christian! None of the other sacraments he received were valid. His ordination was not valid, so every Mass he celebrated was invalid - no Eucharist, no absolution, no last sacraments were ever administered by him, no marriages… nothing. Now. Do you see why it matters for liberal, dissident/protestant Catholic faith communities to follow the rubrics and ritual of the Roman Catholic Church? And called to task when they fail to do so?
Wasn’t someone supposed to be in charge when all of this crap was going on?

I like the picture.

I have another one with a bishop, altar boys, and seminarians if you are interested Little Freak. It is titled:
“Apostolic visitation to the seminaries.”

Call me crazy, but I think this is as serious as the sex abuse scandal — it is a crime committed against the soul (and body)and the ramifications?….Terry has listed just some of them.

Susan - I think so too. This one is about eternal salvation.

Terry ~ You should remove that quote from anonymous at the bottom of this post. Fr. Kennedy has not been at Pax Christi for 8-10 years (he has only been at that parish for about 3 years) and he is not responsible for the failed baptisms. Anon’s comment is officially detraction and calumny (one of those…I always mix them up.) In any case, it’s not true. I can’t speak, certainly for whether he was responsible for any of the false “baptisms” at all, however, he has only been at Pax Christi for about 3 years, and my understanding is that he has actually brought that parish back towards the center from the far left. For example, they used to allow female and guest “homilists”….no longer. Not since he was sent there.

Julie - Thanks a million - I just got online and I had an email from Ray too. I hate this rumor BS - I should have known better!

You said correctly, this is nothing but PC propaganda. In an effort to be percieved as “inclusive” and “nice”, they have managed to idiotize themselves and macullate the adherence of others.

You painted the pic? Very disturbing, but something people need to look at head-on. Maybe it’s something they need to hang at SJV.
Wow. And even the bible talks about the power of words. In this case, the wrong ones made a huge mess of things. Unbelievable.

Yes Monica - I painted it. You knew the people Fr. murdered, right? Or the families?

Very nice painting, Terry. Is it one you recently did? I have a HUGE family, predominately in Hudson, but with folks in just about every town in St. Croix County. My family has been very active at St. Pat’s for decades and my aunts/uncles grew up with the O’Connells. All my aunts/uncles and some cousins attended St. Pat’s school and a cousin currently teaches there. I’m related to a large line of O’Connells (among others, like the Hawkins’ many branches), mostly from New Richmond, which my family tells me isn’t related to this particular line of O’Connells (fyi - since you lived in New Richmond). My grandfather used to say we are related to every dog in St. Croix County. Almost the same holds true for Pierce County too.
