HE DECIDED
He decided on dropping church -
out of his life. How long was this
decision on his
mind - in his heart?
Being a priest, should I have asked?
I didn’t - but he
did say he was fed up
with his parish priest blasting gays and
getting into politics from the pulpit.
I sense this
dropping out is on the
increase. It adds to the pressure on a priest
to be light and salt - example and inspiration -
hope and challenge - Christ and Church -
to the many. It
makes me want to scream,
“What are you doing
to make people want
to be here? What’s your example like?”
