FB group hijacked - The Friends of Gustavo Gutierrez

The Friends of Gustavo Gutierrez has been changed to a group calling for the beatification of Marcel Lefebvre. Lefebvre was a reactionary right winger who vehemently opposed Vatican II and would have despised the good Father Gustavo Gutierrez for his struggles for peace, justice, and most of all the poor.

Most of us have withdrawn our membership from the group as a result. You might want to as well.

Calvinist Style

A friend forwarded this to me.

On the Whosoever.org website, Thomas Woodrooffe describes Mother Teresa's actions in Calcutta in 1993. She tended intimately to the sick and dying without asking them their religious beliefs or judging them for any behavior that might have played a part in their illness. In contrast, fundamentalist missionaries were roaming Calcutta's streets at the same time, handing out religious propaganda to the diseased and destitute, warning them they'd face eternal damnation if they'd didn't convert to the One True Way. Keep that difference in mind during the coming weeks, Scorpio. You're in a phase of your astrological cycle when you have tremendous power to heal people, fix misaligned energy, and provide the kind of moral leadership that raises everyone's integrity levels. Be like Mother Teresa, not the fundamentalist missionaries.
