That’s it but...my question was why don’t the others in charge call down those who did attend and receive? Why does only one parish abide by the rules and the others don’t? It is SUPPOSED to be one church but when it comes to the big shots out there like politicians, celebrity and higher ups...it doesn’t apply to them. Only to the average Joe who gives each week his/her hard earned money into the collection basket. It’s the same as it has been and always will be.
I understand your point of view and believe you are correct. I understand the bishop’s human weaknesses, too, and believe they are failures that need to be overcome with courage. I understand your pessimism ... but that I don’t share. I have hope, real hope, that in my lifetime there will be a rekindling of the courage needed to reverse this situation.
I respect your opinion as I do mine so we will have to agree to disagree.
