Zen does not conflict with anything. That's the idea. >>

Jesus Christ didn't come down to live with us, suffer, shed his blood and die for nothing. There is no reason why a Catholic priest should be conducting a retreat like this. His retreats should be focused on Christ and how a person can become more like and live like Christ. The sacraments of Confession and Communion should be available daily.

I wonder how many young minds he poisoned while chairman of St. Peter's College Theology Department. And those poor parents thinking they were sending their children to a "catholic" college only to have wasted their money.

Par for the course from the Jesuits. Being Jesuit-educated myself, I now recall the retreat where we passed each other the consecrated pita bread. That and taking yoga as my senior-year Theology elective.

I did enjoy the trip to the local Central Baptist church for my comparitive theology class. Until they hit me, 15 years old, up with a request for a $20 donation. Heh.

But more seriously, the Pope needs to suppress the Jesuit order.
