  1. The limit needs to be how other people, especially children who have no say in their religious beliefs and practices. It can be a difficult to distinguish what is appropriate and what is non appropriate. Being baptized as an infant is innocuous enough, leaving no lasting physical or even mental effect, being subject to female genital mutilation is totally wrong. But then could one argue male circumcision falls into that category. Refusing life saving medical treatment is wrong, but not vaccinating children against HPV is arguable. Difficult choices, when things are not black and white.

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.
