It looks as though there is reactionary mischief throughout our institutions these days. As the
National Catholic Reportertells us, it's poisoning the life out in the parishes, too. Book-burning is, I admit, a bit of a flashback.
Fr. Matthew Codd, the then-pastor at St. Elizabeth's, was joined by a group of seminarians who went through the church's theology library and removed books deemed heretical, including those of spiritual writers Henri Nouwen and Thomas Merton. The books were later burned, she was told by a parish staff member. Lichtmann, a retired religious studies professor at Appalachian State University, left the region in part, she told NCR, because of the changes in the parish. She now lives in Georgia. "I felt it was a lost cause," she said about St. Elizabeth.
