May God reveal to Prof. J. Michael, His will for the future.
We pray also that God will uphold the Professor and given him strength.

Definitely pray for Professor Thompson!
May the Lord grant him support in this difficult situation.


While there are those who rally against him, may he find strength and comfort in the risen Christ. Most of those who have publicly posted against him will likely never know the hurt such concerted attacks cause unless in thier own lives they ever take on a postition of such responsibility and face such scrutiny.

Mnohaya Lita Professor Thompson!
Your contributions to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom are wonderful. You have been gifted by God.

Steve�s ongoing conflation of all judgment of Mr. Thompson�s work with judgment of his person is itself not charitable. Those who post negative comments about persons are dealt with by the moderators. Ultimately such comment only succeeds in reflecting negatively upon the man who posted it. Men of good will can and do comment legitimately on the work of another (be it Mr. Thompson�s, Msgr. Levkulic�s, Mr. Jumba�s, or anyone else�s). Great care should be taken both in expressing it (so that it is not personal) as well as in reading it (so as not to interpret legitimate commentary on work as judgment of person).

I can certainly agree with Steve�s comment about those who step forward undergoing very close scrutiny. This is the case with all who offer their work to the Church and I have certainly seen it many times, including with my own meager offerings. The best thing to do is to listen to it, accept and profit from legitimate criticism, and reject the rest.
