Bruce at Stella Matutina, Morning Star, the blog of The Brothers and Sisters of Penance of St Francis, a Twin Cities Catholic lay association, asks a question that all of should ask ourselves regularly:
Why do people think they must change holy things! Paths set for us by Saints are altered by people who can hardly spell their names in times long after they lived. What possesses us to do that! The modern Rules of most Orders, lay Orders for sure, are not the Rules of life that were given by their originators! In some cases they were revised by committees even! No Committee has ever been canonized! Condemned perhaps! So, has Jesus spoken to them? Did He come again and ask for this to be done? Did the Church Fathers ask for it? Did the Pope request it? At least in such a case it would be justified and perhaps accepted. Who asked for it? That is the question. [See More]
