SOUTH KINGSTOWN Kathleen Schlenz of Peace Dale knew something was wrong when her daughter, Anna, arrived home from school Friday.
The Rev. Francis Rocky Hoffman, a priest of Opus Dei, an orthodox division of the Roman Catholic Church, and executive director and radio host of Relevant Radio, a Catholic radio network that broadcasts on 33 stations in 13 states and online, had spoken to a school-wide assembly at The Prout School, where Anna is a junior. The speech was being taped to be broadcast on Relevant Radio at a later date.
She was most upset about the divisive and offensive language regarding divorce, homosexuality and even adoption, Kathleen Schlenz said. None of the parents or faculty knew it was being taped to be aired. They were essentially held hostage and told to clap after this mans responses to questions, even when they didnt agree with them.
Father Hoffman was on retreat and unavailable for comment before the Independent went to press Wednesday.
On April 10, parents received a letter of apology from Principal David Carradini since Friday. In the new letter, Carradini announced he would not resign.
People in our community are calling for my resignation, seeing in this event the culmination of frustration with my leadership, Carradini wrote in the April 10 letter. I have taken this call very seriously, deliberating with myself for days and seeking counsel from others. I sincerely believe that my resignation as Principal is not in the best interests of The Prout School. I have this discussed this option with diocesan officials and they, too, believe that I should continue in my position as the leader of our School.
Many have questioned why I did not stop Fr. Hoffman when I sensed things were going badly, Carradini wrote. I have offered three explanations.......

More incoherency... Just like the rest of your ramblings. May wish to read the Scriptures more and less RC newspapers.
“More incoherency...”
The fact that I never said something you falsely claim I said does not make me or anything I wrote incoherent. Does make what you wrote untrue.
“Just like the rest of your ramblings.”
I don’t ramble.
“May wish to read the Scriptures more and less RC newspapers.”
I probably read the scriptures more often than you do. I generally don’t read newspapers, although I read online versions of some of their articles. As usual, you’re wrong.
No one who read the Scriptures would adhere to the Romanist view, my FRiend. The two are incompatible.
So when did you escape from the mental hospital?
The evil dykes in this picture are NOT Catholic.
They make it up as they go along.
They read the Scriptures too.
“No one who read the Scriptures would adhere to the Romanist view, my FRiend. The two are incompatible.”
I know plenty of Protestants - including pastors - who became Catholic because of their study of the scriptures. As usual, you’re wrong.
And, I know plenty who have left Rome and been found by Jesus. You can have those who hold the errant doctrines of Rome.
“And, I know plenty who have left Rome and been found by Jesus.”
And yet you were still wrong.
“You can have those who hold the errant doctrines of Rome.”
The Church has no errant doctrines.
Is your machine stuck on the word “wrong”? You must be a hoot to be around, “No, you’re wrong.” I am? “No, you’re wrong.” Oh, you are a nice guy? “No, you’re wrong.” Then you know the Gospel? “No, you’re wrong.” I guess I thought you might care. “No, you’re wrong.”
“I am?”
Yes.
“Oh, you are a nice guy?”
Does that make you less wrong? No.
“Then you know the Gospel?”
Yes.
“I guess I thought you might care.”
Truth is not about what you think.
Rome is still wrong.
“Rome is still wrong.”
The Catholic Church isn’t wrong.
The Catholic Church is wrong
No, Protestantism is wrong.
Right, Protestantism and Catholicism is wrong. Only biblical Christianity is right...
“Only biblical Christianity is right...”
That is Catholicism.
No, Catholicism is Catholicism. Biblical Christianity does not need anything from Rome. It derives from the Scriptures as the display the glory of God through the Son, alone. Eat your heart out Rome.
