Fr. Z’s thoughts on Michael Voris’ public statement
Michael Voris recently released a public statement about his past and about his conversion.
I don’t entirely understand the circumstances or timing of this statement.
My thoughts.
We constantly pray for sinners to convert and we say we are happy when they do!
I am impressed with Michael’s courage in making a public statement. I hope that others who carry the terrible burden of certain attractions will take his example to heart and make changes in their lives whatever the sacrifice that might entail.
Michael clearly loves the Church and is laying it all on the line. Even when I disagree with either a position he takes (he’s wrong about fulfilling your Mass obligation at an SSPX chapel) or the style of its expression (his public tone about some figures such as Card. Dolan has been too ascerbic whatever the issue he might raise), he deserves continued attention and support both in prayer and for his work.
