Forgiveness and That Man Is You

A wonderful old book that was very popular with priests, religious, and lay Catholics was That Man is You written by Louis Everly who was a Monk at the time of its writing. I tried to track down who owns the copyright, but had no luck. You can still get used copies from Amazon. This is one page from the book that I thought was wonderful:




I belong to the new Catholic group called That Man Is You that was started by Steve Bollman. There is no connection between this old book and Steve's organization. Mohammedans are mentioned on this page as one group who the author believes had problems with forgiveness. Today, there are many who have problems with forgiveness just as there are many who believe that "anything goes" that there are no sins. There are many people today who feel abandoned by their church--their hurt and frustration turns to anger. The sides are at times drawn out and no one is the victor. Solving the problem is not easy and frankly requires help from above.
