Hi
Again, welcome to Wikipedia! You are pretty clearly a fan of Richard Rohr. That's fine - passion is often what brings people to Wikipedia. Such passion is a double-edged sword. It drives people to contribute which has the potential for productive construction, but it can also lead people to abuse Wikipedia in various ways.

Please take a moment and review the links in the welcome message above. You might also find User:Jytdog/How helpful -- I wrote that to help people get quickly grounded in the mission of Wikipedia, how the editing community realizes the mission, and importantly -- why we do things the way we do. (I do hope you take the time to read it).

Please do base your edits on high quality secondary sources and try to summarize them neutrally. Please avoid linking to sites that sell things.

Please avoid using "honorifics" like "father" -- we don't use them per WP:HONORIFIC -- that bit is part of Wikipedia's manual of style (see WP:MOS).

If you have questions about working in WP at any time going forward, or about anything I wrote above, please ask me. I am happy to talk. Thanks for being patient, and please do give yourself time and space to learn. Jytdog (talk) 16:25, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
