The truth hurts. In many cases, priests have left because of a woman.
I certainly can voice that opinion of this man. As far as character “assignation” (you might want to check this), it is pretty probable.
Richard Bennett was trained by the Jesuits all of his elementary and high school years in Ireland, where he was born. He had eight years of intense education and formation by the Dominican Order, finishing at the Angelicum University in Rome, Italy, in 1964. He spent twenty-one years as a Roman Catholic priest in Trinidad, West Indies.
In 1986, he was saved by God's grace alone and formally left the Roman Catholic Church and its priesthood. He is married and settled in Portland, Oregon. Since 1990, he has been director of the evangelistic outreach, Berean Beacon, whose primary task is to evangelize the lost, particularly Roman Catholics, and to inform evangelical Christians by speaking and by distributing literature and tapes concerning Roman Catholicism.
In 1994, he published the book, Far from Rome, Near to God: The Testimonies of Fifty Former Catholic Priests, of which he and Martin Buckingham of England are the editors. The book is presently in its second edition and is published by The Banner of Truth Trust. It is also published in Italian, and Polish, and will soon be available in Spanish, Chinese, and Tagalog. He has also published The Truth Set us Free: Twenty Former Nuns Tell Their Stories. He has written several tracts for evangelizing Roman Catholics, available in Spanish, English, and other languages.
Mr. Bennett and his wife are members of Reformed Baptist Fellowship of Portland, Oregon.
You write:
“The truth hurts. In many cases, priests have left because of a woman. I certainly can voice that opinion of this man.”
But before that you wrote:
“Inserting slanders into a discussion is a sure way of ending it.”
So, slander is okay when you do it? What do you call an opinion that is based on nothing more than your prejudice? Do you get an indulgence for it?
