Jump To Comment: 2 1In fact the very next day he stopped his hunger strike, which as we know the rules, then became an "extended fast" becuase he fell short of the 21 day minimum.
& then, interestingly enough the Franciscan order got into deep water with Ratzinger. Because he has different plans for South America, and Brazil is his number 2 trouble spot there. Therefore after their role played in mobilising many thousands of people to protests in both South America and Europe on three important themes :- War on Iraq, Same sex Marriage, Secular Educational reform, Pope Benedict XVI "papa ratzi" just limited their independent power in the last two weeks. It was the most far-reaching reform of an order's independence in almost a millenium. From now on, under Ratzinger's "obedience" rule (nods to bendictine) there will be no Franciscan monks photographed amidst clouds of tear gas protesting Berlusconi's war on Iraq. Indeed it effects Irish noted catholics "the catholic workers" too, as many of the champions of their "liberal" religious taste were or are Franciscans. & naturally have found great political support in their various protests which would I imagine outweigh the solidarity support for the Clown army were it to do the same things.
This update goes here now, because in an interview published in the "pro-Franciscan" press, the Bishop Luis Salvio Cappo has announced hiswillingness to defy "orders from Rome" and have another go at the "extended fast" to stop Lulu building a water pipe to quench the thirst of Brazil's poorest.
Anyway, elder, might I remind you that is not a BB board for the mormons. But hopefully stretching the rules find space to ask -
"why did you stop the polygamy thing? was it the 7 sons effect?"
moving public opinion.
just asking.
