\nThis is not what you think. See here<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah, that was news to me, too,<\/strong> but then again, the Crescat is all about blowing the mind<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n\u2026 I once had the pleasure of attending a Nascar event with a certian Franciscan friar friend dressed in his brown Capuchin habit. You would not believe the questions people stopped us to ask him. My favorite of course being, \u201care you in the KKK?\u201d Wearing a habit to a Nascar race in North Carolina proved to be quite a teaching moment.<\/p>\n

I always wondered what would happen if the Penitentes<\/em> came to my town. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, Rocco has the tale<\/strong> of how the great St. Katharine Drexel dealt with the KKK<\/a>.<\/p>\n

the accounts note it<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Although Mother Drexel and the women of her order were dedicated to eliminating racial lines, the people they encountered in their work were not often on their side. One such group of people were the Ku Klux Klan who in 1922 \u201cthreatened to tar and feather\u2026 at one of Drexel\u2019s schools and bomb his [sic] church\u201d in Beaumont, Texas.<\/p>\n

The nuns prayed and days later, a tornado came and destroyed the headquarters of the KKK, killing two of their members.<\/p>\n

The Sisters were never threatened again.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You don\u2019t harass Christ\u2019s Own Ones.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
