Catholicism in the South: Once a Strange Religion, Now Forging Ahead With Evangelical Fervor | Daily News | NCRegister.com

Fr. Jay Scott Newman, who is quoted in this article, is a man I was honored to meet at Fr. RJN's funeral in New York through the agency of a mutual friend, George Weigel. This article does an excellent job in conveying his understanding of what it means to be an 'evangelical Catholic priest'. I share in his understanding of such a self-identification as I state here on my blog.


While I sometimes think that Scott confuses his political beliefs with his religious ones and holds, perhaps subconsciously, to the doctrine of American Exceptionalism which he wields as a lens through which he views the world, I fully agree with him for the need to present the Catholic proposition to the world today.


The article is worth a read!

All good things must come to an end

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
