NEATO !

Ever since TH2 got this blog up and running in early 2009, there has been, from the get-go, a steady flow of harsh criticism and lampooning of heretical/liberal nuns. There is one in particular. Namely, Sr. Joan Chittister. In the past, I have read her articles, perused her website (going by the name Benetvision), and so forth. But I distinctly recall it only taking a short time to arrive at the conclusion that this person is, not just a heretic, but a heresiarchess. Still, one likes to have, from reliable sources, confirmation of such definitional extrapolations.


So I'm doing my regular rounds at Al's blog Is Anybody There? (H/T) and he has this post on Fr. Paul Marx, OSB (1920-2010), the recently deceased founder of Human Life International (HLI). On August 20, 2007, Fr. Marx wrote the following in a letter to Fr. Tom Euteneuer, the (now) president of HLI:

...and thank God you printed that "The Millstone Award" item. Sister Joan Chittister is a wicked woman, to say nothing of a wicked nun. Whoever wrote that article about Sister Chittister did a marvelous job; it is a great commentary on this wild nun who has been doing her dirty work for quite some time.

Holy kerschmackenals! There was my stamp of confirmation. You're not going to get a more reliable source than that.

Al continued, writing that Fr. Marx often said: "The truth will set you free, but it won't make you any friends".

When is this guy going to be made a saint? Do it soon. Please. That line ranks up there with a recently discovered (now) all-time favourite of mine by Fr. Stanley Jaki, OSB (1924-2009).

It goes like this: "Nothing gives me greater joy than to skewer heretics with the truth".

Come to think of it, when is this recently deceased priest going to be made a saint? Forget protocol.

These Benedictine's are the best. And, hey... we now have a pope named Benedict. Neato!

We must pray for Sr. Joan, of course. But it certainly does not mean that Mr. Scampers cannot lampoon her once in a while. Right Scampers?

NEATO !
