Practically Speaking, Your Religion Is The Story

I Wouldn't Say The World Is My Parish, But My Readers Are My Parish. And Especially The Readers That Write To Me. They're My Parish. And It's A Responsibility That I Enjoy.

If We Get You In The Early Years Of Your Life And We Fill Your Head With All Of The Catholic Stories, Then It's Very Hard For You To Stop Being Catholic. Catholics Are Catholics Because They Like Being Catholic.

The Seminaries Must Face The Fact That They Are Not Turning Out Well-trained Professional Clergy. They Must Realize That Preaching Is Creative Work And That Some Element Of Creativity Should Be Required As A Condition For Ordination.

The Kernel Is The Belief That God Is Love And, In Catholicism, God's Love Is Present In The World. It Is In The Sacraments, In The Eucharist, In Our Families, In Our Friends, In Our Neighborhood, And Forgiveness In The Touch Of A Friendly Hand, In A Rediscovered Love God Is There.
