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.
I agree with the Pope on this. More urgently and crucial though, I think he needs to spell out the consequences , theologically, spiritually and psychologically for the following :: Priests who have sexually assaulted another human being ( even just one) , as well as a priest or bishop who is aware of accusations against priests but do not take the care to bring the same accusations to our professional investigators. That would be a great lesson for everybody to hear. It would also be very good to hear the pope call all on priests who fall into either category to leave the priesthood. Those would be very welcomed and respected words by the world to hear from the Pope!
