I'm curious if this story is even true.

This website (remnantofgod) also contains the largely debunked "conversion" of Alberto Rivera and the completely fabricated "Jesuit Oath", etc.

I'm always amazed at the sources that some frequent to advance an agenda. This thread helps me remember why I largely avoid the Religion Forum.

I know for sure the conversion of former priest Richard Bennett is true. I have never met Richard personally, but I know men who know him.

Here is link to Richard’s website. His life is a wonderful testimony of God’s free and sovereign grace.

If you look online you can see the basic story is true. It is also clear he had the hots for a nun and that that influenced his decision. She also was clearly interested in him. God only knows how inappropriate their relationship was before they left the religious life. I hope they didn’t break their vows.

Last place to look for religion any religion is the FR Religion Forum where you will find many who believe only their way meets Jesus' first command and few if any meet his second one.

Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22:37-40

Just did some research and it appears it is true. He wrote a book called “Never the Same”.

Amen to that!

A sad story, isn't it? Sounds like a Luther redux, marrying an ex-nun nun and all. The timeline suggests they were married right after Vatican II. Doesn't surprise me. We should keep him in our prayers.

Everyone that had any problem in the neighborhood had to be prayed for with three Hail Mary's each ...

Three Hail Mary's it is, then ...
