    Manuel it is so simple. As I said, Pablo could help you. He does it so well. Even your brother should have some idea... But maybe he is not allowed to talk to you because you're a layman? Father Hewko said that the seminarians are no longer allowed to talk to the laity.  :scratchchin:


    I am not going to ask Pablo to help me. I can do it myself, when I have the time and the access to a computer.

     The seminarians are discouraged from socializing with the faithful after the Mass, though I can talk to my brother, when the schedule permits. Silence is a general rule, with this and any other traditional seminary.

    I write mainly from the kitchen, while I prepare food, which I am doing now. I also write my blog at night, after lights out, from my room at what is known as the schoolhouse. The computers are either in the priory or the office next to the priory.

    It has been difficult, since the file must be converted to a video format to be put up on YouTube. I need to access a computer to do so. Computer access is controlled, and free time is limited. I apologize for this.


    Manuel, this is neither difficult nor do you seem to have much limitation on computer access. You sure have enough time for your pathetic little blog at least... So either post the discussion, or be man enough to admit you've been instructed to blow everyone off.


    I have not used a computer the entire time I have been here. In order to take the audio file and turn it into a video file, I need some computer software, such as movie maker, to add video to the audio. I have used my phone for all my writing, and my phone cannot convert the audio only to an audio/video format.

    Please do not accuse unless you have sufficient evidence to do so.

    I have plenty of evidence to do so!

    Make it happen Manuel...


    That is not evidence. It is a link to a program. I distrust many such programs, ones that promise free this or free that. I have always told people to stick with programs from reputable sources.

    I will look into this program, but I need to make sure it is safe, and will not compromise any of my security.

    I still prefer to do the encoding myself.


    So if I point you at a droid or apple app to do the same thing, you'll simply claim it's untrustworthy too?  Obviously you're just making excuses, and it's really disingenuous.
    Manuel, your role as a toadie with a flexible sense of ethics is beginning to betray you.

  • On his sixteenth day at Boston, Manuel did send to me...

    Sixteen shortchanged students,
    Fifteen fractious confreres,
    Fourteen faked photo albums,
    Thirteen thwarted theories,
    Twelve devils delving,
    Eleven Pablos preaching,
    Ten leaps of logic,
    Nine loan sharks leering,
    Eight minds a-melting,
    Seven shills a-shilling,
    Six priests vacating,
    Five folding chairs!
    Four scolding words,
    Three henchmen,
    Two troubled tweets,
    and a Pfeiffer in a fig tree!
    Fortuna finem habet.

    If there is an app that is of a trustworthy source, I would absolutely use it, with no hesitation.

    Fine deal. Use the time you're wasting on this forum to download one and get that discussion posted. iTunes or google play, they check all the apps you get  there..

    No more lame excuses, okay Manuel?

    Thank you.
    If it's easier, I have no need for images and an MP3 can usually be attached to your posts here. Can you give it a try?

    I did not know that. Is there a file size limitation? It is nearly 200mb.

    How do I attach an mp3? Thank you.

    That's likely too large. How about Dropbox?

    It was a long conference, nearly two hours. I will try Dropbox.

  • As everyone who's read this thread knows, I am completely against Moran as I think his orders are doubtful and he's a fraud and a liar. I also think that MC has white washed OLMC a fair bit. With that being said, some of the posters on here are down right mean and rash in their judgement of MC. It seems to me that MC may not be seeing things as rosy colored as he once did. A little kindness and charity will help. :)

    The best part about not crossing the line in this way, is that you don't have as much to apologize for (both inside and outside of the confessional).

    I'm pretty sure I haven't been uncharitable to MC. I've asked him some hard questions, criticized him even, but I think I've stuck to the facts and haven't crossed that line.

    Yes, I think you've been pretty fair in that regard. To tell you the truth, Matthew, I'm bothered by the same points you made in the other thread. The fact that OLMC still have no doubt that his orders are valid is very very disturbing. This is sacramental theology 101, a doubtful sacrement is to be treated as invalid.

    Whitewashed is hardly the word. Anyone covering up this mockery of a bishop, coordinator, and seminary, needs to see it for exactly what it is and get out of Dodge. You only prolong this perversion when you don't call it out. The longer he is allowed to wallow in this delusion, the less apt he will be able to get out of it.

    Martin needs to come to grips with the fact that he's invested far too much time at that place to be objective about it. He's been in the denial stage now and is likely to stay there for the foreseeable future. If the rest of you enjoy having your intelligence insulted over and over again just to put up with his incessant refusal to acknowledge the painfully obvious, that's on you.

    Ambrose is a fraud. Pablo is an apostate. Gajewski is a deluded maniac. You want to be lead by priests who surround themselves and their "seminarians" with this level of megalomania?

    I'm not going to let that pill go down easy.

    Snap out of it!

  • I've used sacrcasm to make a point twice.  I have attempted to give him sound charitable advice at least twice.  
    We conclude logically that religion can give an efficacious and truly realistic answer to the great modern problems only if it is a religion that is profoundly lived, not simply a superficial and cheap religion made up of some vocal prayers and some ceremonies...
