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.
Jesus spent his time on earth embracing people and leading them away from 'flags' which symbolize borders, barriers and walls. He lived most of His time among poor, sick, disabled and suffering people whose poverty raised them high above concerns about 'flags' and about pride. He lived with them, not because he wanted to help them, but because he loved them and because indeed He was one OF them. It is impossible to be humble and proud at the same time. One obliterates the other. He never came to save the Saints and those who can feel proud, do not need Him either. Our neighbors are human beings living on the planet without imaginary borders. To love them as He loves us, is to love them as they are. Jesus does not say, "If you change,(your last name, your religion, your nationality, your flaws) I will love."
