Father Alexander of Port-au-Prince:

"Catholics and Protestants and other religions are praying together now," Alexander says, as two tearful women slump over his thick, broad shoulders. "We are saying, 'We love Jesus; we don't care about religions. We just care about the Lord.' " He has tried to teach his followers this lesson for years but did not always succeed in changing the minds of parishioners who thought their religion was better or truer than others. The quake, he says, has done much to convince those he could not.

More nonsense:

Alexander, 40, grew up in this church, first as a vicar and for the past seven months as its principal priest. He is himself pondering basic questions. He has spoken so many times of "original sin," but the quake has led him to what he calls "a discovery," reinforcing his belief that "God created us to be good." The neighbors he sees helping one another -- carting debris, digging for survivors, patching wounds both physical and psychological -- confirmed it for him.

I'm happy to see that now that he's a priest he's beginning to "ponder basic questions." Would anybody like to fly down there and help him out with that?

Here's the whole article (best read on an empty stomach):

This is so bad it makes an episode of Father Ted look like a lesson from the Catechism of Trent! :rolleyes:

Fascinating. Something very significant is happening there. Something that feels much like the end of the world.

Send an inquisitor.

There has been a small faithful Catholic presence there, struggling amid the poverty and voodoo and various sects. In a place such as Haiti there will be the very best along with the very worst.

I have been praying for that old priest in his 80's who is/was trapped beneath the rubble. I wrote down his name but forgot it. He had managed to phone his old friend Francois to say he was OK and had juice and water. Francois had kept a vigil nearby. :cry:

It's a nightmare complete with zombies.

That's right, Elizabeth. There are still many faithful Catholics in Haiti, like the parishioners of that apostate priest quoted above, who refused to follow him into the abyss of indifferentism. Let's pray for them and hope that anyone involved in voodoo or gangs or corruption will reflect on this tragedy, repent, and amend their lives.
