7:19 I'm very fine with being a radical witness for faith and orthodoxy.

I'm not fine with being drafted to a radical witness for poverty and chastity. I asked a monastery back in 1999 or early 2000, they said no. I was fine with that. Since then I have been trying to get an income from my writing, and a place to live and a wife.

In my life I'm dragged back and forth between Catholics who admire me for the wrong qualities a celibate and a poverty not of my chosing, and anti-Catholics who'd be happy as a day to arrange a marriage and a work (other than my Apologetic writing), if I just let go of Catholicism.

YOUR Pope and HIS man in Paris, since "Benedict" and since André Vingt-Trois have not been helping me to get rid of the people who put celibacy and poverty as a price tag on my remaining Catholic. And before Paris even since "John Paul" and since Anders Arborelius and since Claude Feidt and since Jean-Pierre Cattenoz ...

I admire celibate men, but not if their only way of staying celibate is admiring me as one, when I didn't intend it!
