hollingsworth,

Thanks for the summary. You also had mentioned the particular question you had asked Fr. Rostand, what were the other questions that were asked of him and what was Father's responses to them?

Machabees, as I wrote earlier, the talk was pretty subdued. The questions from the audience were few, and the ones that were asked have all but abandoned my memory. Suffice to say, the people in attendance were apparently not really too exercised by recent events; and if they were, they did not vocalize their concerns very strongly. One man did wonder aloud to Father whether we had not come to the end, that the situation now was desperate, so serious, in fact, that some sort of countering action seemed to be called for. Fr. R. merely told him that the Society would be going on as it always had. No changes in direction were contemplated. No new strategies were going to be implemented. It was going to be business as usual.

Now there is a loaded phrase.

More communistic tactics of Fr. Rostand...

At this Post Falls conference of Fr Rostand, I was just given to know that not only did Fr. Rostand state right in the beginning that no one is allowed to tape record or video record his [Catholic] talk, that there was from his organizers two distinct video recorders that were used: one that pointed on himself and one that pointed on the crowd.

???

Is it a tool to control, intimidate, and find out who's who asking the challenging questions? Why the tactics?

Why shoe box a "Catholic" conference on the life of the Church? Why the hush up on what he says? Is it demographic specific? Did the Apostles control the spreading of the Faith with such tactics? Is the Faith only selective to those Fr. Rostand wants to hear? Is he afraid that his words will be used against him? If it is from God that he wants us to believe, what would he be afraid of? Is he afraid of being a martyr? Or, it is from man which he seeks to manipulate? Where is the honesty and transparency? Or, he hasn't the intention to have such?

Another sic display of an abuse of authority? Or does he need to send it to the secular branding company for their approval?

I wasn't present in the beginning, so I don't know what ground rules were laid by Fr. R. However, I don't recall any video recorder pointed at the audience. There may have been, but I didn't see it.

The video recorder was in front of the person who told me of it.

I have no doubt that the person is right. I just wasn't looking for it. The conference was definitely recorded on video. There was a video recorder set up in the back in the center in plain view.
