4. My great aunt who lead her order of nuns once told me

"That's not your business, you do what you know is right!" I was complaining about stuff going on in the Church. I was a bit miffed that she didn't take my side and then I met Dorothy Day (of the Catholic Worker) through her writing and realized my aunt is correct.- Just do what is right, where you can and when you can. That's hard enough for me cause I definitely fail on occasion.

It is special that a Jesuit took the name of Francis and seems to be channeling him. After Burke being pulled down from his pedestal maybe some self-righteous bishops, priests and deacons will see the light.
