This is the same USF that gave an honorary degree to pro-women's ordination, pro-same sex marriage Irish President Mary McAleese on Thursday 11 December 2008 & had a student insurance policy that paid for abortions. & also covers it in their employees policy as well.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07721319432213055605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-47964111871969707892010-01-08T00:04:33.087-05:002010-01-08T00:04:33.087-05:00The late Rev Thomas Merton, Trappist monk and herm...The late Rev Thomas Merton, Trappist monk and hermit, described the various east Asian carvings of devils that he ran into while heading to his last flareup in south asia or some place in that region ... maybe it was India or Thailand. Anyway, his description reveals pretty much what any level headed person can see right off, that they are crafted to intimidate. Merton didn't quite understand this and was being drawn into deeper investigations of these demonic symbols. Shortly after his trist with these hideous things he was electrocuted to death, in such a way that one wonders how he could have missed the obvious accident waiting to happen. I have wondered if his level of intimidation by the demonic symbols was such that he kind of kept his eyes closed to the reality around him.<br /><br />Likewise demonic faces carved in stone can be seen in many central American ancient artwork. Those people didn't seem to see the problem with cutting hearts of out living maidens by the thousands per day.<br /><br />Well, let's see what happens at this parish after a spell (yes, pun intended).JLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12894953406900161276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-88031651638316728262010-01-07T20:18:15.945-05:002010-01-07T20:18:15.945-05:00Unbelievable.

Willie Doyle, S.J., the "Trench Priest" of World War I who dreamed of being a Jesuit martyr (and became one at Ypres in 1917) could surely never have imagined how his Order would deteriorate in less than a century after his death.Anita Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305092097247290243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-15376150093764951722010-01-07T18:04:34.643-05:002010-01-07T18:04:34.643-05:00And yet no one destroys them because we are all af...And yet no one destroys them because we are all afraid of going to jail.Volpius Leoniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273209983337706262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-78559719396450145982010-01-07T16:24:45.434-05:002010-01-07T16:24:45.434-05:00Maybe USF should be shut down too . . . i.e., afte...Maybe USF should be shut down too . . . i.e., after your husband earns his Master's degree!Adeodatus49https://www.blogger.com/profile/16574448503953046867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-15628932515162791682010-01-07T16:04:38.919-05:002010-01-07T16:04:38.919-05:00These pieces of art look demonic to me, especially...These pieces of art look demonic to me, especially the last one (I mean the face in the mouth of an animal/demon).

While we've come to recognize how incredibly naive we were when he decided on USF for his MA Theology degree, I continue to be surprised by what those who make these decisions at USF are capable of. We'll be much, much more careful when he goes on to his next school (we're praying God's plans for him include the Angelicum).... <br /><br />USF is a constant disappointment. And that's certainly not going to change while Father Privett is directing the school.Cammie Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137080807945525006noreply@blogger.com
