I have heard this man speak. He spoke at a very Amchurch, dissenting parish. He struck me as liberal. After reading your post I see I was correct. I have no idea where lilly is coming from.

The fact that this priest is embraced by those who deride the Vatican and call the hierarchy sexist and homophobic is enough for anyone who is Catholic to be very careful in discerning if his talks are edifying and helpful in leading one to salvation.

As an aside, I went to a retreat two weeks ago by a priest who is well known nationally. He is head of some youth group in the diocese of Chicago. His name is Fr. Cusick. He came with all types of credentials and was heralded by the local priests here. The guy was incredibly secular in his retreat.All he talked about was honoring your inner self. My point in mentioning this is that he has great credentials. That means nothing today!

The credentials were simply by way of a "bio" to someone who did not know the man or his work. Deriding his authority — by way of church and education at the only pontifical university in this country, is ignorrance.

It's funny how people with NO credentials to hold forth on things quickly deride someone who does have credentials. A Ph.D. from CUA and seminary training in Louvain is top of the heap. Considering his deep love for the sacramental life and his selfless giving — it is again, shocking to read such venom. Are you a club of pathologically
angry people who need a target? Go shoot some skeet!

Cusick is well respected too — though he is by no means in the same league as Fragomeni. Cusick is simply a parish priest. Fragomeni is a major theologian. Cusick's world is small — Fragomeni's is big — for good reason.
Cardinal George is a big supporter of Fr. Fragomeni, by the way.

Now it's Holy Thursday, and I'm not going to post any more — enough said. I pray you find something constructive to do during the Easter triduum, rather than slandering the servants of God.
Try washing some feet.
