The Priesthood and the Choice | Crisis Magazine

The readings for this Sunday emphasize the role of the priest as intercessor in making present God's forgiveness and love. This reflection proves substantial food for thought when it comes to pondering the role of a priest in God's salvation economy. Since all Christians are called to act as priests by virtue of their baptism, there is a great deal that applies to clerics and laity alike which could serve to help us clarify in our own minds what it means to be priests in the 21st century of the Christian project.

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.
