I'll say it again:
I have absolutely NO sympathy for Drinan.
I'm glad he's dead.
He was an enemy of this country.
He will not be missed.
He was another commie who posed as a Catholic.
Thanks! and Dang , I used search too, looks like titles were not close tho the author is same.. I hate when newssites rename stories.
I agree, his actions over the years make one wonder about some Massachusetts voters.
"He was an enemy of this country."
Worse. He was an enemy of the Church.
called for the desegregation of Boston public schools during the 1960s. . .
he urged the Catholic Church to condemn the war as "morally objectionable."
what Drinan viewed as the administration's undeclared war against Cambodia. . .
he testified against the impeachment of another president: Bill Clinton . . .
He served as president of the Americans for Democratic Action, crisscrossing the country giving speeches on hunger, civil liberties, and the perils of the arms race.
In other words, he dressed up cranky, pro-Soviet positions as Catholic teaching when they weren't, while publicly dissenting from the actual teaching of the Church. And when finally told to shut up by the Pope, he gave an object lesson, not of respect and obedience, but ungracious, half-hearted compliance.
All in all, like many old, and now dying members of his once-heroic order, he lined up consistently with the enemies of God and man. We pray that he made a sincere, death-bed confession we never heard about, or that all his life he had suffered from some irremediable condition that made him unaware of what he was doing. Otherwise, this priest is in hell.
