This one's been making the rounds on FB (a dear, dear friend of mine, one of the V2/Frank fans but she's really old and I give her a pass — even though this photo quote made me dry heave this week):
I think there's an implication that the Church has suggested that Sainthood is a privilege for the few, but now Frank's here to straighten everyone out on some kind of "miscommunication".
Then there's the "
everyone" part. How can one hope to be a Saint if ...
they're not even Catholic? (And that pic of Frank with the beady eyes... I just can't bear it.)
Maybe I'm nit-picking, but there's just something way OFF about this quote. And something definitely OFF about that whole evang. group, "
Word on Fire," which made the meme (or "inspirational quote"; whatever you call that picture). —Just look at their logo with fire burning the "Word". I get the Holy Spirit/fire reference, but to me,
that logo looks like someone burning the Word of God. The site icon is black with a fire in it.
Plus, the Methodists use that flame thing as their "logo"; I'd thought the group
was Methodist at first, just quoting Frank the Humble! But nope: there's a "priest", Fr. Barron, who runs that corporation and sells things through it. He (or someone in the corporation) has a DVD series called "the seven LAST words of Christ," as if Our Lord finished speaking in 33AD while on the cross. As in, nevermind the Gospels with MORE WORDS from Our Lord, I suppose? Everytime I've heard "the seven last words" referenced, the "on the cross" has been emphasized equally! Because ours is a Living God! It just gets under my skin when so-called "catholics" can't get right what even the Protestants are careful with.
(And with that DVD title, I closed the tab.)
