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.
There is no “radical Christianity” in this gesture. It is a call to recognize and reveal with humility …to the world… the darkness , the unholy and the powerless one that lay hidden behind the clothing of knowledge and certainty. It was shame risen out of the birth of consciousness and the recognition of opposites ( fear and desire , man woman etc.) in Adam and Eve that precluded them from remaining in the Garden naked before God. It is ‘fear and desire’ that guard the gate of re-entry. It is people like St. Francis and others who reveal the ‘way’ back in.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing radical about that and it’s not even about being Christian or Buddhist or Muslim or any other religion or race, or group of any sort…it’s about discovering the fundamental desire ( not the superficial ones) to become human and to respond to that desire.
