You encourage Catholics to question things going on in our Church that seem out of whack and then go on to condemn the questioning of the actions/decisions/comments of priests and bishops within the Church. Can't have it both ways. All Catholics have an obligation to question anyone in the Church that seems to be acting/deciding/commenting contrary to the Magisterium. I’m sorry, but the number of years a particular person has studied theology does not give them a free pass. <br /><br />If Fr. Pieur’s is as committed as you say he is, he should have no problems publicly affirming the areas of the Church’s teaching that people question his adherence to. It’s really that simple --- problem solved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248478318892426116.post-73159578268766642632009-11-18T07:44:14.634-05:002009-11-18T07:44:14.634-05:00Michael:
Simply amazing posting! Thank you so muc...Michael:<br /><br />Simply amazing posting! Thank you so much for this. Father Prieur is an INSPIRATION and a genuine CHRISTIAN PASTORAL LEADER.<br /><br />This issue is a tough one for any human being to wrap their heads around, except for those misguided post-modern people who together comprise what I call the "collateral damage of secularism". These poor souls "believe" that women have more rights than men in that they have a "right to kill unborn human beings" via abortion.<br /><br />Abortion is wrong, and human life is sacred. In this way, God challenges us to walk His path. The easiest way to walk His path is to light it with His light. The Catholic Church in the person of Father Prieur is doing precisely that.<br /><br />Father Prieur is a Catholic and Christian hero. I envy (I know, I'm trying to rein it in!) Michael for having a 30-year history with Father Prieur. Father Prieur must bring God's light to so many issues and circumstances. I wish I could have the opportunity to chat with Father Prieur personally about some of my own theological questions.Joshua S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248478318892426116.post-26792017378548025962009-11-17T15:28:55.063-05:002009-11-17T15:28:55.063-05:00Fantastic posting.
