Profession
Fernando could not remain in the Redemptorist Insititute. When he completed his ecclesiastical studies, a number of coinciding events occurred as a result of which he could not receive priestly ordination. Fernando had shared his work on the Christus movement with the General Superior, who was a Belgian, who was pleased with the movement. However, the General would not remain alive for long, and succumbed to cancer of the pancreas. Fernando made his public profession during this period.
Fernando then consulted a highly respected professor about his situation. He told Fernando after three days of prayer to leave the congregation. He remained with the Redemptorists till 1956. During the Christmas that year, he read the text loud before several witnesses, indicating that his profession would be immutable.

“To know a person’s religion we need not listen to his profession of faith but must find his brand of intolerance.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

—William Bolitho (1890–1930)
“install me in any profession
Save this damn’d profession of writing,
where one needs one’s brains all the time.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
