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.
First, parents get to decide what to expose their children to or not. This is like the first rule of you Catholics who are always blathering on about your religious freedom and how it's being infringed upon. Second, this priest should keep his yap shut about what does and does not go on in the confessional. Those that do the confessing can choose whether or not to disclose what went on in there but not priests. I know from things other priests have said to me that the sanctity of the confessional is not kept.
ReplyDeleteMoe: I actually agree with you... except for your last line. I've never heard a priest violate the seal of the confessional. The priest in this story didn't either since he's sharing something that he says he often has heard over the years of his priesthood therefore while he may be imprudent in sharing as he has, he isn't violating the seal since no one can be identified.
