Yes, I listened to part of it today, and I think I had heard the entire recording a few years ago. If I find the text in another medium, I can post a link to that as well. I found what Professor Howell had to say quite compelling. If memory serves, he also spoke about redemptive suffering on The Journey Home or another EWTN show. I will see what I can find on that, too.

Here is a video of Kenneth Howell speaking on "The Issue of Authority in the Early Church."

Thank you for the great link. I've placed it on my husband's Facebook. If you do come across any text, I'd love to read it. He seems such a solid Catholic teacher. His students back him, at least the two I know highly do. I wonder how long this will take in the courts, and I hope like heck he gets his job back. Are you familiar with the Church on campus at UIllinois? It's absolutely beautiful (we were just there; our son is 2010), and the priests seem so solid, and the Newman dorm is packed to the max with students. I'm holding out lots of hope in this regard. Time to put my hair shirt back on (and pray!) ... :)

I've not been there, but I've heard good things.

Time to put my hair shirt back on (and pray!) ... :)

Amen!

With all due respect, this should have been posted on the News/Activism Forum. This is a topic that deals with our freedoms in this country and is not just a religious issue. I’d be willing to post it on the News/Activism Forum for those who want to comment on it without grappling with the RF guidelines.
Unless metmom has had an important conversion, she does not belong on a Catholic Caucus thread. Is there a newbie at the RM helm today?

PhotobucketHere's a picture of the church, however, as oftentimes is true, it does not do it proper justice. At both sides are the most amazing stained glass windows throughout the church. If you click the picture, you will be brought to their site. The photo on their masthead is nicer.

It appears that the persecution of Catholics and Christians who teach the moral truths is alive and well! Sad, isn’t it?

Metmom, you are not generous via your words toward the Catholic Church (or its teachings) and you do not belong on a Catholic Caucus thread unless Free Republic is no longer honoring them as defined.

Thanks for your input. I had just put up an Ecumenical thread before this one regarding the occult and it wasn’t going well. So I decided to keep with the Catholic Caucus designation on the firing of Professor Howell.

It adds a lot to the story, that you know the people involved. I am going to add the professor to my prayer list, it sounds as though one vicious student has succeeded in causing harm to the entire program.

I don't know who posted these posts, but obviously they were removed. So, it would appear if the offending party was the same person then that individual would be booted off FR.

Maybe I am mistaken.

Here are the rules as posted (my copy and paste) on the Religion Moderator's profile page.

Ecumenic[al] threads.

Who can post? Anyone

What can be posted? Articles that are reasonably not antagonistic. Reply posts must never be antagonistic.

What will be pulled? Antagonistic reply posts. If the article is inappropriate for an ecumenic discussion, the tag will be changed to open.

Who will be booted? Antagonists

 

 
Caucus threads.

Who can post? Members of the caucus and those specifically invited

What can be posted? Anything but the beliefs of those who are not members of the caucus

What will be pulled? Reply posts mentioning the beliefs of those who are not members of the caucus. If the article is inappropriate for a caucus, the tag will be changed to open.

Who will be booted? Repeat offenders.

 

So it seems to me that this offending person (if it was the same person, has been booted from FR. Hmmmm.

My thread looks scourged, just like Professor Howell. Thanks for the Catholic support, Salvation!

Don’t feel bad about your thread. It’s good, though, to keep a close watch on the Caucus threads.

Please note. This is a Catholic Caucus thread.
It would be CONSIDERABLY more effective if you provided a link to whatever this means.
