war taken agency
Would it not be much better to have a president who deliberately lied to the people because he thought a war was essential than to have one who was so dumb as to be taken in by intelligence agencies, especially those who told him what he wanted to hear?
men catholic upset
The Catholic men are more upset about women not being able to be priests than are Catholic women.
creativity creative elements
The seminaries must face the fact that they are not turning out well-trained professional clergy. They must realize that preaching is creative work and that some element of creativity should be required as a condition for ordination.
responsibility writing world
I wouldn't say the world is my parish, but my readers are my parish. And especially the readers that write to me. They're my parish. And it's a responsibility that I enjoy.
real thinking political
I think the real problem for American religion are those minority of fundamentalists who try to identify political policies with religion.
art school catholic
It was generally believed that Catholics were not interested in arts and science graduate schools. They weren't going to be intellectuals. And so I put the theses to the test. And they all collapsed.

In God, the characteristics of men and women that we admire in men and women are combined. That's been a traditional Catholic teaching that God is the combination of opposites.

Priest organizations around the country, both local and national, should realize that their membership has a serious image problem and undertake programs to improve it.

The men who were running the church in the late '60s and '70s panicked when they saw the chaos, which developed after the council. The relatively modest changes of those years thawed the ice in which Catholicism had been frozen since the French Revolution.
war three world
Since the end of the World War II, the United States has fought three "small" wars...we lost all three of them and for the same reason-hubris.
patience country long
Is the patience of the American people that long suffering? Is there no outrage left in the country?
death two disease
We are born with two incurable diseases, life, from which we die, and hope, which says maybe death isn't the end.
writing disability fingers
I have terrible handwriting. I now say it's a learning disability... but a nun who was a very troubled woman hit me over the fingers with a ruler because my writing was so bad.
