One could probably stay home and yet have the mental experience of all of these events by taking some LSD in honor of this sixties agenda.

Still, no thanks.

Readers of this blog who are excited about the arrival of Rosemany Radford Ruether at St. Stan's will want to prepare themselves with a visit to Wikipedia where Ms. Ruether is described as one who..

"....describes herself as an "eco-feminist" and refers to God as the feminine "Gaia" (however, she noted in July 2008 that a critic "accused me of teaching that ‘God is Gaia,’ a view which I do not take"). [4] Ruether is an advocate of women's ordination. She has questioned the legitimacy of Pope Benedict XVI's accession to the Holy See. Since 1985 Ruether has served as a board member for the pro-abortion rights group "Catholics for Choice" (CFC).

In 2005 Ruether explained to an audience at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles her view that "Christianity is riddled by hierarchy and patriarchy" that created a social order in which chaste women on their wedding night "were, in effect, raped by young husbands whose previous sexual experience came from exploitative relationships with servant women and prostitutes."

She is a signatory to the 9/11 Truth Statement. [5]"

I thought with Fr. Bozek's ties to Sun Yung Moon we had seen the farthest reach of lunacy possible.

Theologian Ruether thinks 9/11 was a government conspiracy!!

Is this what the Poles at St. Stan's really wanted?
