Sounds like a hippie to me. There are certain words that just put me on red-alert mode the moment I see anyone type, write, say, or nod approvingly at. One of these words is “disarmament”. Our very own perception can see that there’s something not-altogether orthodox about this priest. Christ’s holy Catholic Church is not about disarming and non-violence, but advocates violent defense in a justly-waged war.

He has said*** “Nonviolence begins with the insights that all life is sacred”*** - makes great sense to me - and if this is a being a ‘hippie’ I say ‘go hippies!’

I think the reason why people call him hippie is that they think he’s involved more with politics than piestly workHe has said*** “Nonviolence begins with the insights that all life is sacred”*** - makes great sense to me - and if this is a being a ‘hippie’ I say ‘go hippies!’
