Mike , you may be as yet, still in what Richard Rohr refers to as "the first half of life " .  Frere Zawada had entered the second  .  
Francis of Assisi heard Jesus ' evaluation of the church :  " Rebuild my church which as you can see is in ruin ".  
That was 8 centuries ago !  And today is no different .  It is the church in the person of Zawada working for peace while the institutional aspect will not  .
Jesus is someone of whom very few have heard .  (And of those who have heard how many have listened ?  )
Does that downgrade Jesus  ?  Or Fr . Zawada  ?

"Go forth to paradise , may angels greet thee at thy coming ....   And with Lazarus   who once was so poor may thou find eternal peace at last ".
