At the End of the Day

 In his post, Tim Rohr wrote that Father Harold of ten years ago is not the same Father Harold today. More than 10 years ago, Rohr had only good things to say about the Way. In 2008, Tim Rohr wrote positive words about the Way and the priests walking in the Way. According to Rohr’s letter (the bold is mine):

4. The NCW is producing vocations. And I know that the seminarians are learning Latin and Gregorian Chant in conformity with the true wishes of Vatican II. I don’t see that happening anywhere else.

5. I see NCW priests wearing their clerics. They are visible to the community. God Bless them for that.

6. I was sitting with Fr. Ivan and Fr. Eric Forbes when Fr. Ivan asked Fr. Eric if he would teach the seminarians how to say the Traditional Latin Mass. Fr. Eric responded positively and also offered to teach them the theology of this beautiful Mass. This is in conformity with the wishes (if not command) of the Pope in his recent Moto Proprio. I don’t see anyone else rushing to embrace the Pope’s desires in this regard.

7. The NCW is teaching people to study their faith. They are studying the Scriptures, the Catechism, and the Early Fathers. It’s wonderful to see.

8. I understand that the NCW is also active in the prison. I used to teach in the prison for GCC and saw how active non-Catholic groups were with the prisoners. The majority of the prisoners are Catholic. Where is the Catholic ministry? The NCW is now there.

9. I see the NCW going out 2 by 2, knocking on doors and inviting people back to the Church, in other words, doing exactly what Christ commanded. The only other group that I know that does this is the Legion of Mary, so good for them too.

10. Most of all I am moved by the politeness, the kindness, the general charity of those I know in the NCW, especially the priests and seminarians, but essentially most everybody I know personally who is connected with it.

Rohr wrote this about 16 years ago. Today, Troy wrote:

My dad was part of the Way, and I never knew him to be a happier person prior to his membership in the community where he belonged. In fact, every person I know and I have met who has been in the Way is a joyful, excited Catholic.

 So, Rohr had positive things to say about the NCW and the priests walking in the Way more than 10 years ago. TODAY, Troy said positive things about Father Harold and some people walking in the Way. Therefore, it was not the priests, seminarians, or those walking in the Way who has changed. It was Tim Rohr who changed.

  2. Rohr is obsessed with Apuron. Anyone associated with Apuron gets persecuted. That's the only reason Rohr hated Harold 10 yrs. Ago. Harold's association with Apuron made him a target.

  3. It's been years since I've come to this blog or even the JungleWatch. Interesting how JW still talks about the NCW.

  4. O. T. Dear Diana, some news from a few days ago is that here in Italy, the blog "observatory of the Neocatechumenal way" from where every day for about 15 years the way was slandered and defamed has been removed from Google and has also disappeared from the bar of Google searches. It is not yet clear why, but the truth always wins in the end, we are always with Christ and he will not disappoint us. FAV

    1. Caro FAV, è un piacere risentirti dopo averti letto in varie occasioni in quel blog/fogna finalmente soppresso, ho sempre ammirato la tua tenacia nel rispondere a Tripudio&company anche se temo che questa pace nell'internet non sarà duratura in quanto i figli delle tenebre sono sempre al lavoro per riprendere la loro opera di calunnia e menzogna, grazie per la tua coraggiosa (anche se spesso censurata) testimonianza, il Signore saprà renderti merito! La Pace a tutti i fratelli. Giuseppe

    2. Thanks @giuseppe, too kind. It is only thanks to the Lord who gives us strength. Of course we hope and think that the removal is definitive, the conditions are all there, but in any case it is a very important first step. FAV

  5. Rohr must find another hobby than dwelling in the past which did not line up what he was hoping for. He destroyed lives and so his own. God won and he will take vengeance for those who suffered from what CCOG done.
