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.

Reflections from the pastoral ministry of an Evangelical Catholic Priest.

ReplyDeleteAnon: ..... because it demonstrates three points. First, that Catholic priests are not unique in falling prey to this sin/crime. Secondly, to point out how diffficult it is for victims of such abuse to come forward since there are costs for doing so as this story makes clear. Finally, to engender a bit of compassion and sympathy on all our parts through the acknowledgement that these are painful events for all concerned: victim, victim's family, and the faith community.

Because I thought it could mitigate the feelings of being upset so many Catholics are experiencing about the abusive Priests that have been caught so far.
DeleteI hope EVERY Catholic, Priest or laity, who is aware of either a homosexual Priest, or one who is sympathetic towards them or in favour of same-sex marriage, takes positive action and makes EVERY one of their names known.
The many good Priests I know need have no fear of this.
