From the posted piece Bush finished his studies and post graduate education in Rome.

Who knows. He did not build a crystal palace and tour the West as a motivational speaker. The posted piece indicates after resigning he did some missionary work and may continue to do so.

But the testimony was not to create a blog as some do, but to act on the commands of Christ.

It may not matter to you, but I'm interested in how people finish their course. I found this, but the links are dead.

There are many examples of people who receive an evangelistic message with joy, and they are paraded around as a trophy, but they drop off, fall away, and become something else as their journey changes paths. They use adjectives like "former" or "recovering" and are hidden from view even faster than they were paraded as a trophy.

I found this in a German pdf here (translation using Google): http://www.bereanbeacon.org/de/assets/Deutch%20Media/articles/PDF/Bob_Bush.pdf

Immediately after he left the priesthood and the Catholic Church had, Bob Bush began in the United States and in Evangelizing Central and South America . In 1992 he suffered after a back surgery a severe paralysis. As he this great physical restriction endured, is a testimony to the grace of God . As a radio evangelist, he preached the good news today of salvation . He lives in Oakdale, California , USA . His e - mail address is: notbyworks@sbcglobal.net

I then proceeded to to poke around for Bob Bush in Oakdale, CA and, unfortunately, found this: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=88306472

I suppose it is possible there were two Bob Bushes in Oakdale, CA, both devoted Christians with a brother named Bernie who was also a "Reverend," and who happen to have been married no longer than the time Bob Bush ceased being a Jesuit priest. But I'd say the odds are pretty high this was him. If so, considering the service was held at the Oakdale Family Church of the Nazarene, odds are also pretty good this was his church, though I haven't found a more direct link establishing that fact.

Here's the church's website: http://www.oakdalefamilychurch.com

Well that is quite interesting. Mr. Bush is not active on his website must mean he is sitting on a bar stool sampling the adult beverages?

The man would be in his golden years now. Perhaps he is under the radar serving “tables” for Christ. Can’t think of a better finishing push.

Also other than this article, no one was parading him around it seems as you have found scant postings searching Google.
So again, speculation on your part.

Seems the “Coming Home” video blogs is the definition of your concerns of parading around folks.
