So help me God and these His Holy Gospels."Fr.

What i...You mention the "Maryknoll oath." What is it exactly? Usually, an oath is quite specific, for instance, public servants "vow" to uphold the laws ....and the Constitution of the United States,etc." When one testifies in court, one swears to "..tel the truth,etc...so help me God." One also "declares that the information is true to the best of my knowledge," to the IRS when filing taxes. What does the Maryknoll oath say. I don't remember a special wording when I took it in 1960; is there such a thing now, and does it mean obedience to the Sup. General, or the Council, or to the Church, or to ones' superiors, or to the general membership. In light of your letter (next page) concerning Roy's situation and so-called harming the group of priests who feel that he cast the Society in a harsh light, isn't time to sort this out?Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13609231449299152346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881167609055073107.post-47934332051161076622011-08-26T21:34:11.807-04:002011-08-26T21:34:11.807-04:00Refound!
