Defending Our First Freedom | First Things


Archbishop Gomez (Los Angeles) writes an excellent defense of the Church's right to preach, teach and practice according our own beliefs. Well worth the read no matter what side of the issue you stand on.

    Hi Tim,

    If I allow myself to be led by my more charitable angels, I think that what the Archbishop decries is really the direct result of a more pluralistic religious landscape. Secular society has no reliable way of sorting out many conflicting religious claims, and must therefore treat them all with suspicion.

    My less charitable angels would urge me to say that what the Archbishop really decries is his Church's loss of priviliege. The privileged often see the denial of their privileges as "persecution", when in fact it is nothing of the sort. How can the loss of state funding be called "persecution". A tad overwrought don't ya think? Hardly on par with being fed to the lions.

    Cheers...Martin

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. Diocese of Pembroke
