Retired Bishop Quinn "Walks the Labyrinth"...

Retired Sacramento bishop attends unusual retreat in Burlingame

Sacramento’s retired bishop, Francis Quinn, spoke at a June 7 contemplative retreat at Burlingame’s Mercy Center to mark its 25th anniversary, San Francisco’s archdiocesan newspaper, Catholic San Francisco, reports.

The Center, says its web site, is “sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy and rooted in the Catholic tradition.” It “welcomes women and men of diverse faiths and cultural backgrounds.”
One should understand that when one reads or hears that a group is "rooted in" the Catholic (or Jesuit, etc) tradition, it deserves a closer look for many times, it seems, something entirely different has been "grafted" onto that once "Catholic" stock...Such, it appears, is the case in this situation...
