Thomist Loyalty Can Only Go So Far -
Father Jack Waves Goodbye To Father Michael




Jack Kilcrease Jack KilcreaseAdjunct Professor of Theology

B.A. History and Religion, Luther College. 2001. ELCA.
M.A. Doctrine and Theology, Luther Seminary. 2003. ELCA.
Ph.D, Systematic Theology, Marquette University. 2009. Jesuit.

Father Jack Kilcrease recently unburdened himself about Father Michael Root, formerly ELCA, leaving for Rome on his blog:

"it's rather unfortunate that he went around saying that he was a loyal Lutheran and running a Lutheran seminary when he really believed in Thomism."

An honest Romanist is better than a dishonest Lutheran. How can someone teach theology at a Roman Catholic college while posing as a Lutheran? After all, the Church of Rome has seven sacraments and not one of them works. No matter how pious one might be, within their odious system of works, he will still spend thousands of years in Purgatory paying for the sins which the seven sacraments failed to obliterate - not to mention the prayers and endowed masses offered after his death.

For the uninitiated - a Thomist is a follower of Thomas Aquinas, so one can only marvel at Father Jack's droll sense of humor, as he blogs from a Thomist college. Kilcrease publicly attacked Michael Root for being honest about his Thomism.

Here are some fellow professors at Aquinas:

Thomas Aquinas was a Dominican. I added the Wikipedia link in case Father Jack did not know that.

I wonder if he shows up at Aquinas College lectures and shouts "Dominican - Thomist!" at the visiting dignitaries.

Even more droll is the way Paul McCain and Father Jack take turns crawling into each other's laps. McCain loves to play the Roman card whenever it suits him.
