Jesus was a dissenter, a heretic, and, for his day perhaps, a liberal. So what? His dissension, heresy, and liberality gave us the Truth of the Gospel. He was dissenting from the "traditions of men" that had grown up around the Law. His "heresy" was the proclamation of the coming of his Father's kingdom. And his "liberality" was the offer of salvation to all through his sacrifice on the cross. He gave us truthful content not purposeless process.<BR/><BR/>Are you wanting us to believe that simply b/c you can retroactively label Jesus with your favorite adjectives that those adjectives slapped on anyone now somehow lends them the credibility of Jesus? If so, then you need to be writing columns supporting the sedevacantists, et. al. b/c they are most definitely dissenters, heretics, and liberals given your understanding of the terms. They are standing against the established Church as it is described in the documents of Vatican Two, fighting against Church authority, resisting the hegemony of the hierarchy! Are they heroes for you b/c they dissent? Or is only some kind of dissent permissible for you? <BR/><BR/>Fr. Philip, OPFr.

"Jesus is spending a great deal of time healing the sick. . . ." <BR/>Our preaching was addressed primarily to the Benedictines of Jesus Crucified, nuns who, by vocation, offer their weakness with the sufferings of Christ to the Father.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
