Brainstorming is messy - brainstorming is not conclusive. I think we should do what the saints teach us, be still and trust in God. The Church is still the Church, while filled with sinners it remains alive with the Holy Spirit, filled with defenders of the faith and is being overseen with a Pope who understands good, evil, the works of Mercy the temptations of the Devil (don't forget about his pronouncements on gay marriage as the seed of the Father of Lies back in Argentina) and the need to reach out to those who are wayward for the sake of their salvation and our own.

Reading it, it sounded like the advice of meeting people where they're at while maintaining fidelity to the Gospel; thereby assisting them in their journey. Jesus consorted with prostitutes and tax collectors; I don't think this a revolutionary or new idea in Catholicism. TAqnoreply@blogger.com
