Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p. Diocese of Pembroke
Reflections from the pastoral ministry of an Evangelical Catholic Priest.
Catholics have not lost their religious freedom, but what they have lost is society's acceptance of Catholic beliefs on the general public. Catholics are free to not accept gay marriage for instance, but they are not free to impose that belief upon the public. For instance a Catholic hospital that receives government money may not refuse to treat a gay patient and allow the patient's spouse full visitation rights. If they ran the hospital with their own money it would, in my opinion, not be illegal to deny gay spousal visitations to the sick patient, just immoral.
