On one side there is outrage, frustration, moral indignation, and fear for the future. On the other side hope and trust the Holy Spirit will guide the Church clear of this crisis. It’s hard to know what to think some days. I’ve decide to tone down my rhetoric on something of these topics rather than bleat my gut reactions to headlines. Why? Hope and trust in God is in the realm of faith. Fear of anything but God is outside of the realm of faith. I hope some of my new blogger friends and our readers have the fortitude to deal with all this in an spiritually more mature manner than I have lately. I know we can be frustrated and angry without losing faith but me it has been a slippery slope. That’s why John and I have decided to change the format of the blog to all country music reviews and pictures of llamas all the time. That’s a joke. We’re not changing the format at all – I’m just going to make an effort to write in the spirit of hope and trust that Jesus calls us all to.
Pax vobis!
