May his soul rest in peace with JESUS!! Amen!
Dear (name removed by moderator),
It is hardly charitable to add that “sting in the tail” to your prayers for his soul.
Mr Vennari may have been mistaken on several things, but remember that he was formed in a bad spiritual school (the notorious Most Holy Family Monastery) and such influences are hard to shake off. (Think of all the “liberal Catholics” whose consciences have been distorted by secular and progressive ideals, and who find it hard to cast off these things even many years later.)
If we can pray for the repose of the soul of a notorious pro-abortion politician, such as Ted Kennedy, without alluding to his evil policies, why can we not extend the same courtesy to Mr. Vennari?
May his soul rest in peace and may God console his family and friends.
Have you ever read his relentlessly negative and schismatic stuff? Borderline calumniation of Mother Angelica for but one. He was not a happy man, in my estimation. I pray that he is in utter bliss as we speak.?
This was very crude. A very godly man has died, have mercy. An example of unChristlike comments by someone claiming to be a deacon of the church
I think that the “stinger” is at least as forgivable as preaching schism (i.e. scandal), don’t you think? Doesn’t matter how and where Mr. Vennari was raised. He has an intellect, a will and a conscience and answers for obedience or disobedience. Like me.Dear (name removed by moderator),
