Hi Bob......Just wanted to share this with you.
It shows how far the Catholic church has to go these days to stay afloat financially.
Talk about selling your soul..............
I just wanted to share my experience with you of last Saturday at St Thomas Seminary.
I went there for the annual Charismatic Holy Spirit breakfast.
I got there on the early side but barely found a parking spot....the lot was loaded with cars!!
I started to get excited thinking "YES!....this is what we need now...a resurgence of the Charismatic movement.
The dining hall was mobbed and then I saw the sign for our breakfast to be behind the dividers, a small area in the back of the room.
All the people in the main portion of the dining hall were "BUDDHISTS!!
It was a Buddhist convention, of all things......the charismatic folks shrugged their shoulders and simply said the seminary needed the money.
The Holy Spirit breakfast had about 20 of us reminiscing about the good 'ol days 1975-1980 when the Charismatic movement was blooming.
I can't tell you how sad I was.
God help us...............
Talk soon.
Paul
