It has been a long time, I apologize. Much has happened and more is yet to come. Details on all that to follow.
It strikes me today that we are reading a decidedly non-gospel focused response to the current clergy abuse crisis from the former leader of the Roman Catholic church on the same day that Pete Buttigieg is preaching the gospel on "Ellen." If you have not seen it, please watch the short clip.
We are moving into the very time of our faith journey that calls us to follow Jesus in a new way. The message of love presented to us over the next 10 days is unquestionable, modeled perfectly. God's love is perfect and ours.
I wonder if we are willing to be as open and articulate about our commitment to the gospel as Pete Buttigieg or do we fall back on the "same old, same old" that is so comfortable for retired bishop Benedict?
