    • I read that someone complained about Fr. Rother to the Guatemalan embassy, stating that he was a radical priest propping up communism.  And that this led to him being put onto a death list and martyred.  This event happened in a talk Fr. Rother gave in Edmond, Kansas in 1981.  

    Does anyone here know of anybody who may have seen this talk/address?

    • I had known a priest who had studied with him in another place, and I had heard nothing about Fr. Rother giving a talk or one praising communism for that matter.

    The priest seems legit and appears to never have been interested in liberation theology.

    • Well, here's my opinion, anyway.  



    Quote
    "Caught in the middle of a war between a U.S. puppet government and a communist faction, Fr. Rother was branded with the latter, and seemingly became a martyr for the Catholic cause of mission work as well as for Jesuit-styled communism.  There has been great excitement by Oklahoman locals, but also Leftist clergy, over the idea that the circuмstances of his death merit special adoration.  This excitement seems to overstep important details, and it appears that Leftist factions in the Church are eager to get the ball rolling on declaring a hero for their side."
