Some more thoughts from Fr. Rohr about being Fools "The holy fool is who the Bible and mythic literature have always presented as the "savior." Holy fools are happily, but not naively, innocent of everything that the rest of us take as self-evident. It is the last stage of the wisdom journey: Jesus in his parables, Francis in his patches, and Dorothy Day obedient to petty churchmen for paramount reasons. Reasonable people will always be able to criticize such fools, but they bring to every exile a whole new way of imagining?and thereby usher in the new age."
