Beautiful and informative definition of a prophet. The self-proclaimed prophets, lately, could be defined as anyone who speaks with the sound of authority while undermining the truths we have received from the Church from the beginning! Sadly, some of them HAVE religious authority, and that confuses people. (What’s the feminine pl of ‘wolf’? What’s another word for sheep too dumb to know he/she is growing sharp fangs?)
Finally it’s public!
They have been visiting the Spokane seminary for months to meet with some priests and talk about reverting with the bishop and one of the priests. Thankfully they made the right decision. God bless them and the MC’s
Jeff,
Thanks for the link…I am always pleased to hear that someone out there enjoys my homilies. “Wolves and Prophets” isn’t one of my favs. I have about four different threads going on there and it strikes me as a bit confusing…maybe a few pieces stand out as worthy of consideration but the whole thing is too big to chew in a five minutes homily. Oh well.
Thanks again! Fr. Philip, OP
