Look good and look hard. For what you see here is the definition of what a priest should be: knowledable, compassionate and not quick to shy away from defending the faith! The video is a bit long but definitely worth viewing.
As a side note, I did a little investigative work on who Kim Franke - the organizer of this rally to support the LCWR sisters in their fight against the Vatican and the main woman in the video - and I found some interesting things about her. To begin with, she's a member of Call to Action.
Just who are the Call to Action group? Well, according to their website's FAQ section, we read this:
Our vision is broad and rooted in the gospel message of justice. We hope for a Catholic Church where:
- the call for justice in church and society is the church’s major priority,
- the church is called to be a model of openness and justice at all levels,
- theologians and church institutions are called to be free in their search for the truth,
- laity and clergy are to be consulted in the formulation of church doctrine and discipline, including human sexuality, academic freedom, roles of the laity and liturgical issues,
the priesthood is open to all people: single, married, women, men,
- the people of a diocese should be consulted in the selection of their bishops.
So, in their call for justice, they are demanding that: Church's should be "free to seek out" whatever it is that they think might be the truth, that regular shlubs (who may or may not have ANY idea of Church History or Doctrine) should have input as to what constitutes official doctrine and what doesn't, THE SACRAMENT of Holy Orders should include priestesses and married men and women and, the regular shlubs (who may or may not have ANY idea of Church History or Doctrine) should be consulted as to who becomes the bishop of the diocese. Wow. You wanna talk about heresy, here it is in plain view for all true Catholics to see!
This group of so-called Catholics want so have Jesus in their own way, additionally, they want the Catholic Church to hand over its full fleged authority to the laity because apparently only the laity know where the resources of our Holy Mother Church could be best distributed AND, to top it all off, they want priestesses as well as the power to select their favorite pro-LCWR/gay/women's ordination/insert-your-heresy-here bishop who, naturally, will do their will at the local parish level and bring a sense of gravitas to their heretical justifications.
Is it any suprise that in 2006, the Vatican supported a call to ex-communicate all members of Call to Action in Nebraska? Want to hear more heretical ideas from Kim Franke? In the Detroit, Michigan chapter of Call to Action, we read in the following exerpt, written by Eileen Burns a staunch supporter of women's ordination. In it we read that (with my emphasis):
In his book, The Future of the Eucharist, (Paulist Press, 1997) Bernard Cooke broadens our understanding of “real presence” and extends the concept to include Christ’s dynamic presence in the community. Cooke believes that while individuals may have specific functions at the Eucharist, the entire community performs the eucharistic action (pg. 32). If this is so, then the community gathered is the celebrant of the Eucharist. It is the community that “does” the Eucharist. This is another example of a type of intentional community. Kim Franke and Jim Rose, co-chairs of the Kalamazoo branch have worked to form an intentional community for a number of years, and now a seed of hope is germinating. “We began out of our frustration with parish liturgies that were not inclusive, nourishing or life-giving,” said Kim. “We are all tired of wasting time, energy and talent on trying to influence the hierarchy.” The group meets twice monthly to break celebrate Eucharist, open Scripture and enjoy one another’s company...
...The CTA-MI Board of Directors is committed to helping facilitate this process for anyone trying to form an intentional community...people are looking for communities that provide spiritual support and nourishment. “What could bring us together is dealing with our grief in losing our Church,” said one presenter.
Simply amazing. These heretics not only want to take away all of the graces that make the Catholic Church unique in every way to all other Christian denominations but, they also want to re-vamp the litugy of the Eucharist as well. Don't be fooled, these heretics are only out to destroy the Church, Her flock, Her message and Her teachings. They are a force of evil which seeks to undermine the Catholic Church's sole prerogative of getting souls into heaven, as such, this is a dangerous group of anti-Catholics heretics which need to be confronted and called out by what they are!
Kudos to the true light of Christ as it shone through the words of this young priest, let's continue to pray for more seminarians, deacons and priests like him. Awesome job Father! You've convinced me to go bone up on my Vatican II knowledge!
