Who is a living Catholic hero?

 

[Gabbi]

I think Cardinal Robert Sarah, Cardinal Burke, or Archbishop Cordileone all rank.

 

[Maximilian75]

HH Benedict XVI and Cardinal Sarah definitely are.

 

[Gabbi]

Oh yes, Benedict XVI, how could I forget him!

 

[stpurl]

Yes to the above and add Bishop Athanasias Schneider.

 

[jackfitz316]

Father Frank Pavone.

 

[JulianN]

Pope Francis.

 

[Jas31784]

Bishop Bernard Fellay

 

[goodcatholic]

Bishop Robert Barron

 

[jackfitz316]

Also Peter Kreeft and Bishop Barres.

 

[stpurl]

Father Z and Father Richard Heilman.

The only difficulty with discussing living Catholic heroes is that we can only assess their behavior as we see from now and before.

I mean, for several years during the Revolutionary War, Benedict Arnold was a living American hero right up there with all the other Patriot generals and such. That didn’t last though did it?

 

[Kts1816]

I like him,too

 

[Kts1816]

Some priests at our parish

 

[Jas31784]

The winners of wars write the history.
Had England won he would be a hero. The founding fathers would have been treasonous traitors.
Ponder that.

 

[stpurl]

Sigh. I like your alliteration though. Conscious or unconscious?

 

[RKS89]

I’d love to be a fly on the wall when those two hang out. You can tell by the intro in Sarah’s “Silence” how good of friends they are.

 

[Maximilian75]

Absolutely. Two of the best theologians of our time.

 

[Edward_H]

The husband who ends quietly but firmly a business dinner/drinks event with his attractive female boss when he didn’t like the way the conversation was going, and his internal reactions, telling his boss…“I need to catch up with my bride and my children, good night”.

Hero, big time.

 

[RKS89]

“A holy bromance” is how a friend of mine described them. Maybe a little irreverent but it makes me grin.
