the_rev Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Our local Diocsean newspaper features weekly articles by this priest who is a professor at Notre Dame. He has been hired as a consultant now for the Davinci Code Movie. I was just wonder if I was to write the editor what shoudl I include. I know he doesn't have a good rep, so what else should i mention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thessalonian Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Fr. McBrien is bad news. All the secular press goes to him when they want a liberal view from a priest. This article summs up what should be done about his articles nicely.

BUT when I saw him on TV I thought why would a priest get himself involved in something like that? NOW I KNOW. THANKS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 When the press or politican want to parade a "catholic" to agree with just about anything - he's their man. Only prayers and fasting will work on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be silenced. That said, I agree that much prayer and fasting is neccessary . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theologian in Training Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I believe he was silenced by the Vatican for a time, but cannot verify that at the moment. You might run a search for him and see what comes up. God Bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Awful. Just awful. His book "Catholicism" has been repeatedly condemned by the USCCB. May want to include that. There are few people (even among dissenters) that get on my nerves like Fr. Richard P. McBrien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I looked for Fr. McBrien's book [i]Catholicism[/i] for a long time -- but by the time I had finally stumbled across a copy, I had heard enough about his heterodoxy that I was no longer interested. Funny that he's been hired for [i]The Da Vinci Code[/i]. He probably believes in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
