To the anonymous commenters who have been making personal attacks against Fr John: it says a lot about your character that you can not keep to the issue but get personal. Fr John has a duty to teach the truth, whether popular or not. The vicious slanderous attacks undermine the position of those who make them. Thank you, again, and God bless, Father.

I will pray for you to remain steadfast in defending the Church against the cynicism of those who have an agenda in fostering falsehood.

I don't have a problem telling Christians not to practise yoga as it's a Hindu practice. But simply equating it with the occult and therefore with Satan, does not seem to square with the respect which the Church affords to other world religions. Are you saying all Hindus are essentially devil worshippers?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496103327369055047.post-65617597191944184782012-10-14T21:53:53.515+01:002012-10-14T21:53:53.515+01:00:-D:-DLe@hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17313920001840938624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496103327369055047.post-39746244795002611522012-10-14T21:42:32.955+01:002012-10-14T21:42:32.955+01:00An extremely well chosen valedictoy message to you...An extremely well chosen valedictoy message to your detractors.

If you belonged to the world, then the world would love you as its own. But I chose you from this world, and you do not belong to it; that is why the world hates you.

You do not write so that people may like or approve of you. You write what is good and true. You are charged with saving souls. Rejoice when you are calumnies for speaking the truth. If a Catholic priest in Ireland today were popular, I suspect he would not be preaching the Faith. Ireland today needs Bishops (and priests) of with the great courage and loyalty to the Christ and His Church that the first Bishopd had. Blessed Michael protect you and all of us in the hour of battle. Lyndanoreply@blogger.com
