ALL Things Fr. Paul Mankowski, SJ

And I mean ALL.

I just stumbled upon a gold mine of links to books, articles, reviews, etc. that have to do with my dearly departed friend (of very happy memory!) Fr. Mankowski. I had made a similar list on my blog Some Have Hats. I can't get back to that blog because I can't remember my password and Typepad lies and says they will sent me a link to reset it, but they never do. But I feel pretty sure that anything I had linked is on the list I'm about to post, which I shamelessly stole from brothersjudd.com.

As soon as I can figure out this software, I will put these links up on a page of their own, so you will always be able to get a Mankowski fix when you need one. I find that I need one daily.

Today has been very calm compared to yesterday -- or even if not compared to yesterday. My most pressing concern at present is whether or not to dress like an adult to an outing tonight. (That means no Gators t-shirt and real shoes.)

My Lent is not going well because I'm busy being distracted by all things that should be of lesser importance right now. Last year I went to Mass every day during Lent. That should have been a great idea, but the Mass at the church down the street is a near occasion of sin for me. In fact, I got into it with an EXTRAORDINARY eucharistic minister of communion last year for refusing to give Jesus to a man because he was on his knees. Long story, didn't end well, and I had to avoid that church for a while. I might need to dye my hair before I go back there.

Anyway, I'm going to kick it up a notch. I'll let you know how when I figure it out.

  -REVIEW: of Building a Bridge:How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity by james martin, s.j. (Paul V. Mankowski, First Things)

The truth is that the Church, as Church, has no pastoral interest in the LGBT bloc apart from her concern that those who compose it be protected from sin contemplated and rescued from sin committed—precisely the same concern she shows for everybody else. That is to say, the Church is concerned with the prospect of salvation and damnation, and persons with a propensity for a particular sin engage her pastoral solicitude in the degree that the sin is grave and the propensity stubborn. She wants us to get to heaven.With this duty in view, the Catholic Church teaches that sexual relations are the exclusive privilege of married love—and that between a man and a woman.

 -REVIEW: of Diogenes Unveiled:A Paul Mankowski Collection edited by philip f. lawler (Jerry J. Pokorsky, First Things)

Although Mankowski was always upright and obedient, his superiors considered him a problem child. Today’s Jesuits—with some notable exceptions—rarely make a compelling defense of Catholic orthodoxy. Mankowski's “transgressions” included his stands on such hot-button issues as abortion, homosexuality, women’s ordination, and celibacy—all covered in this book. His Jesuit authorities found his dissent from the Jesuit company line annoying because he unapologetically subscribed to Church teaching.

You can read about the Brothers Judd here and their site is here.

I highly recommend their website and I'm really glad I stumbled upon it. There are a lot of good book reviews and, as you can see, some very thorough lists.

I'll leave you with a quote from Fr. Mankowski. He said this to me frequently, when describing his latest pounding from the Jesuits, but it works well for Lent, too.

"Nobody said it was supposed to be fun."
