14th August is the feast of St.Maximillion Kolbe, martyr of charity.
Among his patronage, St Maximillion Kolbe is a patron of imprisoned people, political prisoners, of families and of the pro-life movement.
St Maximilian Kolbe teaches us that we are called to give testimony to the truth and to the Light and to boldly oppose the dark powers that curse the radiance of Christ’s love with tyranny, injustice and cruelty.
The dark shadows that haunted the 20th century still haunt us today. But, because of the witness of saints like Maximilian Kolbe, we know that in Christ there is a light in the darkness that cannot be overcome.
Truth will prevail.
3 Oratorians were ordered to "spend time in prayer" at 3 separate monasteries hundreds of miles apart and indefinitely. Of the 3, Fr. Dermot Fenlon (described by the Oratory's own spokesman as "entireley guiltless of any wrong doing whatsoever") remains silenced and in exile. This blog is an archive of publications about the scandal at Newman's Oratory. It aims to bring out the facts, of the great injustice suffered by the 3, particularly the cruel treatment of Fr. Dermot Fenlon.
