Religious Fears
A Cardinal said that some Vatican officials used to think, not too long ago, that any complaints of sexual abuse by priests, was being done by enemies of the church. This seems kind of backward and out of date, but as I look around at other religions in third world countries I find more out of date stuff going on. I read where one religion wants Christians to convert or die/go away. Maybe there is something about religion that has trouble growing into maturity. It tends to live too much in the past. Fortunately, God does not live in the past. This is good, as my worst sins are back there.

Words given me by one of your Paulist cohorts:
ReplyDelete"Forgive yourself. God forgave you a long time ago." It' s hard not to look back when you have more behind you than ahead and you sometimes wish you could do it all over again and get it right. Unfortunately, it would be the same unseasoned young person probably making the same bad judgements.Hopefully we, like wine, have aged well.
