The Life Teen program has helped many, its ministry has deepened many peoples faith, if there was bad apples in the barrel they did not ruin the whole lot, they are the chaff that needs to be seperated from the grain. Rely on your experiences and judge what you know from that experience. ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amppax Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Wow, I had no idea that the founder of life teen had been excommunicated, however I also have had a great experience in my youth group, which gets most of its ideas from life teen material. The life teen organization has distanced itself from this guy, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudreyGrace Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Life Teen is a beautiful example of how God can turn the worst circumstances (a founder being a predator of sorts) into something beautiful and holy. My Life Teen group is like a second family, for the past four years I can probably count on my hands the number of times I've missed Life Teen. They influenced my faith, spiritual growth, even in part my decision to go to FUS. Not to mention all the vocations that have come out because of kids who went to Life Teen as a youth. Perfect example of how God can work through anything and bring good out of evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victimhood is his lens. At some point in every man's life, he must own up for the man he is. Now that the book, his blame and his speculation is out, it is too late. most every abuser of children is popular and well liked. It's part of the shade to have access to children. Dale is a master of manipulation. The Catholic Church is the Bride of Christ, she never leaves anyone because she is "Mother"... It is we who leave the Church, not the other way around. The reason he was excommunicated was because he did the opposite of what good priests do: he operates through pride and not humility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa Cruz Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I would like to offer a prayer for this man's conversion and for all whom he has hurt, the 9th Station of the Cross, by Pope Benedict XVI 9th Station Jesus falls for the third time. We adore You O Christ, and we praise You, because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world. Lord, Your Church often seems like a boat about to sink, a boat taking in water on every side. In Your field we see more weeds than wheat. The soiled garments and face of Your Church throw us into confusion. Yet it is we ourselves who have soiled them! Have mercy on Your Church; within Her too, Adam continues to fall. You stood up, You arose, and You can also raise us up. Save and sanctify Your Church.

Prayer is the best remedy in all of lifes situations. I am glad to see that you not only offered to pray, you also posted a prayer! Thank you for that, we need to spend more time in prayer, prayer is our conduit to God's grace, its a gift we should open and use, pray for those who have been abused, pray for their abusers, pray for the Church as both an institution and a collective of souls, pray for those living that they may follow Christ and pray for those who have died that they may see Christ. ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
