The President of the American-Cassian Congregation of Benedictines, Abbot Timothy Kelly O.S.B. is suffering from cancer. He was the Abbot of St. John's Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota. This of course, raises thoughts as to who will carry on as the old Monks go on to their just reward.
It's interesting that in the last few weeks since the passing away of Father Paul Marx, founder of the pro-Life organization H.L.I., that the current Abbot made a very controversial statement about the infamous "seamless garment" which he insisted mendaciously, was what Father Paul was all about.
Not even lies will save you from death and the terrible judgement of God.
Considering St. John's poor performance in Catholic fidelity, especially as regards birth control and abortion, it's ironic that they are dying out. Could it be because they've contributed to the spiritual moribund atmosphere of the surrounding culture, that those vocations who might have otherwise come to their doors were aborted? Sources in Rome say that Collegeville is top heavy and will die out; it's days are numbered.
