(If it was otherwise, I would object, and have).<br /><br />Two parts:<br /><br />1: Don’t kick a man when he’s down.<br />2: Only a jerk would.<br /><br />Alpha Hotel are not the words I would have chosen, but fit, in a way, with the previous post on Golf Foxtrot Yankee.<br /><br />Either way, my main point is that (obviously) Vox is innocent of such a charge, and, anonymous did not make such a charge. “Don’t kick a man when he’s down”. Simple. I’ve thought the same about others, recently. It’s a valid warning. We should all do less of that. I thought the initial base blog post from Vox was a great example of that. And now ... all of this. Makes no sense to me.Aquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691722006352014613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981956.post-3535267496849182232019-09-23T08:40:14.846-04:002019-09-23T08:40:14.846-04:00Aqua:

I also don't really understand why it was said in the first place, but loads of people are quite quick to spot the mote in Vox's eyes while ignoring the beam in their own. <br /><br />What does our Lord say about that sort of behavior?

And a Christian can’t, in good conscience, kick a man when he’s down. We are required to hope, pray, work for the salvation of all men. Resisting evil, oppressors is a work of charity. Giving them a hand up, when they are down, is also an act of charity.<br /><br />I really don’t understand. Your post was informative and charitable, esp given your history with the man. You sincerely wished the best for him. I commented in support of what you, yourself wrote. <br /><br />The Alpha Hotel comment, given that context, couldn’t have been directed at you.

Isaiah 42:3<br /><br />Fr. Rosica has yet to earn back respect. When he could have made a good (public) confession he inserted excuses into his "apology" and shifted blame on to his subordinates. His actions toward Vox were unconscionable. However, perhaps he will learn a lesson or two if we extend to him forgiveness, even while he - given his record of snark and condescension - doesn't seem capable of fully appreciating it. Who among us really fully appreciates the forgiveness that the Lord extends to us? If we did, then our cause for sainthood would be well under way. That said, I'm on my way out the door to begin the day and will go to confession at 3pm (PDT) so I have a hope of attaining heaven.Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17473192515345565154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981956.post-42480685057771078392019-09-21T00:40:44.415-04:002019-09-21T00:40:44.415-04:00Perhaps he will be able to come to terms with his ...Perhaps he will be able to come to terms with his narcissism while at Southdown.<br /><br />He truly heal he needs to publicly apologize to all and everyone that he set out to and succeeded in harming, yourself included.

I also found the original post by Vox to be charitable and informative - not needing any corrective or negative comment - stand alone it was interesting, useful and charitable, (esp given past personal circumstances).<br /><br />Given that, it is interesting to me how this topic can devolve in this way, as if there are personal attacks involved. I don’t see it. <br /><br />I saw “anonymous’” comment in this spirit. Similar to mine above, merely a statement of charitable Catholic fact: as he said to RestoreDC - “pray for your enemies; turn them over to the Most Holy Trinity”; don’t kick a man while he’s down; pray for the best for all men and women.<br /><br />Pax!

I find nothing uncharitable in it, as implied by the misguided pietism lurking behind some of the other comments in this thread. On the contrary, if there is one person on the face of the earth who has exhibited true charity for this man and who continues to do so, it is you.<br /><br />By exposing Father Rosica's misdeeds in the first place, you challenged him to repent.<br /><br />By standing against him when he tried to damage you, you demonstrated to him the limits of the worldly power in which he was overinvested.<br /><br />By refusing to go all mealy-mouthed now that he is reaping what he has sown, you are continuing to pour the iodine of Truth into his festering wounds. Sure, your words might sting. What good could they do, otherwise?<br /><br />You have fulfilled your fraternal obligation of warning your brother to leave his wicked ways, and no one should try to make you feel bad about it. That is the false mercy of Amoris Chapter 8, not the true mercy which comes through the Cross (and not by skirting around it). Now, whatever Father Rosica chooses to do from here on out, you have done the right thing by admonishing him, even at considerable personal cost.<br /><br />And you have set a good example for the rest of us in the process. Thank you, and God bless you always.Justinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09465934867471657275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981956.post-16783761383685336822019-09-18T18:11:17.804-04:002019-09-18T18:11:17.804-04:00It is interesting to me that he was trying ruin yo...It is interesting to me that he was trying ruin your career and in the end leave you and your penniless and broken.<br /><br />Yet, he gets to go a swank rehab joint for as long as he likes, 3 meals a day and a cookie at bedtime, if he is good, all at the expense of the laity.
