The thing I like about Cardinal Arinze is that he speaks his mind. Someone once asked him about priests who won’t give Holy Communion to those who kneel. He said that not only should they kneel, but they should crawl up to the altar rail. Hah! This Cardinal just smacks down silly priests. That’s medicinal and charitable, by the way. It gets them back in shape.

Cardinal Arinze on the abdication of Pope Benedict XVI
Filed under Catholic


Accompany me, Father George David Byers, S.S.L., S.T.D., as I begin life as a Catholic Priest-Hermit by choice. Holy Souls Hermitage is dedicated to the sanctification of my fellow priests, bishops, deacons & seminarians going through the purgatory of this life or the next. Prayer and sacrifice go up, of course, for both Benedict XVI and the next Successor of Saint Peter. 






Totally agree, love this guy clear and concise. Calls a spade a spade. Too bad he is so old he would be a good Pope I think.
I love this man. He was “my” second choice for Pope; my first choice became Pope. I agree that he would be an excellent Holy Father
Father,
Since I found you via Father Z’s blog, it’s only fitting I bring you back there: http://wdtprs.com/blog/2010/01/how-to-make-altar-boy-program-grow-by-500/.
