revolutionoflove Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 (edited) I don't know if this has already been mentioned at PM but in case it hasn't, we need prayers for this situation! Please keep the Bud and Bai (Maria) McFarlane in your prayers. As you may know, they have done great work for the church with their apostolates at Catholicity.com and the Mary Foundation as well as promoting the the sanctity of marriage. But now their own marriage is under attack as Bud has filed for divorce and Bai ("Maria") is fighting it. Here are related articles: [url="http://www.cleveland.com/search/index.ssf?/base/news/1079174171257380.xml?nohio"]Divorce, American Style: What if one mate says no?[/url] [url="http://www.cleveland.com/search/index.ssf?/base/opinion/107978941343210.xml?oxlet"]Letter to the Editor: Far Too Many Spouses Are Coerced to Divorce[/url] (Scroll to the bottom letter from Maria McFarland.) It's sad to see how far Bud has come in his conversion only to have this happen. Satan must be working overtime on this situation because the tragic thing is that not only will [url="http://www2.marian.org/thebulletin/issues/issue200/article200237.html"]their family[/url] be suffering but it may damage the credibility of their apostolates. Although I noticed that Catholicity has taken off all references to the MacFarlane family. Please keep them all in your prayers that as tragic as it is, God can bring good from it. Thanks, Bobbi PS- I don't bring this up so we can "bash" Bud McFarlane, but rather that we can pray for him and the family.

Birgitta Noel Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Oh no! That is just awful. They have always been so in love. There seems to be a lot of strange things going on at Catholicity right now. Prayers are on their way! Mary Mother of God protect your children!

Ash Wednesday Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I'm really shocked. I was just reading articles from 2003 (!!) and they seemed like such a happy family.... I don't understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjtina Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 [b]St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in our day of battle; protect us against the deceit and wickedness of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God banish into hell Satan and all of the evil spirits who roam through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.[/b] Our Lady of Fatima, Pray for Us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popestpiusx Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 How very tragic. How disturbingly demonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLAZEr Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 How do we know that this is true? Can we be certain? I think we should not be spreading rumors unless we are positive that they are true. I know Bud and Bai personally, but I haven't spoken to them in a few months, I had not heard any such thing. Please, someone PM me or email me or something, because I would be very upset if this was just a rumor we were spreading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLAZEr Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 True or not, I think it would be good of all the men out there to do a little E5Men Special Forces Work [url="http://www.giftfoundation.net/e5_special_forces.htm"]http://www.giftfoundation.net/e5_special_forces.htm[/url] Us men out there should fast and pray one day this month for Bai. And the Women out there should fast and pray one day this month for Bud. As Iron Sharpens Iron, so shall we sharpen each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
