The traditional friars bringing hope to a depressed Native American community

If you want to see how socialism will work in America, visit a Native American reservation and you’ll see the sad truth of it.

I just spent four days with the Franciscan Friars of the Holy Spirit, a new mendicant religious community which wants to revive the Latin Mass, and serve the poor. They do so magnificently, under the direction of Bishop Thomas Olmsted of Phoenix who entrusted to them the care of eleven parishes situated around one of the largest Native American reservations in the country.
