A Song of Praise with Yolanda Sokiri

Outlaw Visions: Becoming Earthfolk with Francis X. Kroncke

In this episode, I speak with Francis X. Kroncke, a seeker who has journeyed through monastic life, the theological academy, a federal prison cell, and the byways of corporate America. In 1970, he took his Catholic theology into the American courts as he defended his crime of destroying draft files to protest the Vietnam war as one of the “Minnesota 8.” We talk about experiencing prison as sacrament, encountering the Divine Mother, and the Earthfolk vision of living in ecstatic harmony with the earth. You can find more of his work at outlaw-visions.net “The mistake that a lot of pro-peace guys make is that they still have this illusion that they’re different from the people they’re trying to change. [But] the only way to change someone is through love.” “We humans are the vehicle for the divine being present on earth. This is what we lost by cutting the Mother out of traditional theology.”
