Question
Are you a secular Franciscan and member of the Militia of the Immaculata?

Answer




Peace

  dear Liam,
      This September 8th (Navitity of the BVM), I celebrate 16 years as a member of the Militia of the Immaculata; on the 21st I celebrate 21 years of profession as a member of the Secular Franciscan Order.


     Under Canon Law, they are two different types of societies/movements so there is no conflict.

Expertise

I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
