And what would +Fellay and Fr. Rostand have us believe?
That all "Resistance" members need to shore up their flagging spiritual lives? That they all have severe spiritual issues?
Here is a CARMEL for crying out loud! Contemplatives who spend entire days in silence and meditation. You're telling me they're rebellious, itching for division, etc.? Yeah right!
In the spiritual realm, a Carmel is like a nuclear weapons production facility. Talk about bolstering the Resistance!
Contemplatives and other unseen religious are the wind that fills the sails of the various priests who go out in public and preach, try to convert people, etc. The priests get to reap the results, but who EARNED those results? Cloistered religious.
May God's will be done, and may we all persevere throughout all the ups and downs in this struggle!
