More Morning James
As I've been reading The Letter of James, I paused at this section of James 4:
11 Do not speak evil against one another, brethren. He that speaks evil against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you that you judge your neighbor?
Amen.

Sr. Joan Sobala should read this. She might choke on her big turkey drumstick just a bit.
Okay, you got me. Is there some significance to a turkey leg?
As to the passage from James, I have not heard Sister speak or read much that she has written. Does this apply to her? I don't know. But I do know some of her critics' comments certainly seem to fit under the first part of the passage.
It is referring to the opulence of her living conditions in the priest's rectory rather than the convent on OLoL's campus. I thought nuns took a vow of poverty... So much for that.
Ah. I remember Father Jim Callan making a similar criticism about living in an opulent rectory - so he refused (years before he broke with the Church).
