Good article here, why would those who implement BVIs moto proprio be so heavily disciplined? What is it the church fears from these faithful catholics? Why will the Church not discipline the modernists ? Why are they being judged when Gays are not? http://www.lifesitenews.com/blog/co...order-is-brutally-disciplined-while-dissiden/
Prophecy of St Francis...Then scandals will be multiplied, our Order will be divided, and many others will be entirely destroyed, because they will consent to error instead of opposing it. .http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2748949/posts
This goes for Fr Gruner too.....' Those who preserve in their fervour and adhere to virtue with love and zeal for the truth, will suffer injuries and, persecutions as rebels and schismatics;' St Francis.
Did anyone read the comments posted under that link? Thee is some interesting dialogue with a Friar that starts here: gratiaplena, Thank you for your concern. Actually the pope is intervening in our order largely because friars like the ones you mention at the La Crosse Shrine petitioned him to do so. In fact, Fr. Peter Fehlner who is the shrine's first rector and still resides there is one of the original five friars to appeal to Rome. You can read some of the rest of the story here: http://www.catholicworldreport.... I believe the pope is being so quick to take action because he knows there are so many good friars who have appealed and are willing to shake off this problematic mentality which is so suspicious of the Church. No doubt, he also sees many good Catholics being sucked into this same fearfulness and wants to prevent such tragedies and sees our order as good place to start. Great progress is being made thanks to the Holy Father and his minister Fr. Volpi. We are very grateful. Please keep us in your prayers. Have a blessed Christmas!
