Today is the feast of Saint Michael de Sanctis, also known as St. Michael of the Saints, a Spanish Discalced Trinitarian priest, the patron of cancer patients. Michael Argemir was born on September 29, 1591 at Vic, Catalonia, Spain. At age 6, he told his parents that he planned to become a monk and began modeling his life after Saint Francis of Assisi. Michael’s parents died when he was about ten years old. He then served as an apprentice with a local merchant.

As for Mr Kennedy, I haven"t heard, but if he holds similar views,then he too should be held to the same standards. It troubles me that someone identifies themselves as Roman Catholic and then endorses such atrosities. Now I know that excommunication is not something to act on too hastily, but I do hope our religious leaders will not simply shrug this off and will reflect on it seriously. This is a grave situation. May GOD have mercy on us all.
