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.
Funny, all I hear around my church is the voice of women. Maybe your church is different, Archbishop Durocher? My church is filled with women- the church groups are filled with women and run by women, and daily Mass is predominantly women. Women clean the rectory, act as secretary and sacristan, play the organ, lead ministry groups in my church and run the fundraisers. However, if the Archbishop means that the voices of radical feminists are not being heard, my only answer to that would be "alleluia!" What we don't need is to listen to the strident feminists voices that claim they have no place at the Catholic table, or other such euphemisms. The Catholic church needs an era of male renaissance, where men are encouraged to take more leadership roles in the church. I'd love to stay home and relax for a while, and let men shoulder the heavy lifting around my church!
