From my Cat Stevens phase— 1978, the next day my Catholic Worker brother Brian Terrell and I were arrested blocking railroad tracks at the Rocky Flats nuclear plant in CO. Where they make nuclear triggers for H bombs. I spent 16 days fasting in solitary in the Jefferson Co jail.

All theologies, including a theology of liberation, “are not worth one act of faith, love, hope, committed …in active participation to liberate humankind from everything that dehumanizes it and prevents it from living according to the will of God.”

"Xavier Rynne's" "Vatican Council II" is still in print @OrbisBooks. In reissuing this work in 1999 I asked the author, Redemptorist priest Francis X Murphy to write a new foreword in which he described how, by means of "assiduous casuistry" he maintained his anonymity.

Asked point-blank by his superior if he was Xavier Rynne, he replied: "No Father, I am not Xavier Rynne. I am Francis Murphy."

Yes— curious that the claim of conspiracy theories comes from Scott Horton, with no evidence cited. Don’t know why that was given prominence. And the reference to QAnon is not in a quote.

In my father’s office there is a closet piled to the ceiling with boxes of photos. I spent hours gleaning for traces of my own life. Found only a handful of pictures of us together.

To a disciple obsessed with the thought of life after death the Master said, “Why waste a single moment thinking of the hereafter?” “But is it possible not to?” “Yes.” “How?” “By living in heaven here and now.” “And where is this heaven?” “In the here and now.”—Anthony de Mello
