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
I agree with your theory Fr. Tim to a degree. There is a very important distinction to make with regard to where an experience with the transcendent One takes place. I believe it is so crucial to recognize that such an experience takes place within oneself and for so many reasons ( not semantics) I think you have spelled out a huge problem even more accurately than you intended to with regard to the role of the church as a mediator between God and human beings.
ReplyDeleteSorry Fr. Tim, I didn't read the article before I commented without realizing you were quoting the author. My comment does in my opinion apply to the quote though no matter who said it. With such great emphasis on things like morality , sin , politics,etc...the Catholic Church has lost it's fundamental role and that represents a betrayal of humanity.
