Maybe I should say "by the theology of those who speak on camera." The abbot's drivel is nothing more than self-hel psychobabble and Br. Gabriel actually said to one of the guys that God needs us!

I will continue to watch in the hope that I am proved wrong.<BR/><BR/>Fr. Philip, OP<BR/>http://hancaquam.blogspot.comFr.
