years catholic stories
If we get you in the early years of your life and we fill your head with all of the Catholic stories, then it's very hard for you to stop being Catholic. Catholics are Catholics because they like being Catholic.
jesus believe mean
I don't think Jesus was an exclusivist. He said, and we believe, that He is the unique representation of God in the world. But that doesn't mean this is the only way God can work.
glowing data support
There is good news in the data the strongest support for priests is to be found among the younger generation.
lonely regret taken
I have to say that I have no regrets about my decision to become a priest or about the major directions my ministry has taken me... I have been and am happy as a priest, and I have never been lonely... I could have used a bit more solitude.
strong thinking facts
I think that the core doctrines of Christianity - the incarnation, the resurrection, life after death-these are as strong as ever. In fact, the belief in life after death has increased in this century.
talking stories
Practically speaking, your religion is the story you tell about your life.
love-is hands friendly
The kernel is the belief that God is love and, in Catholicism, God's love is present in the world. It is in the sacraments, in the Eucharist, in our families, in our friends, in our neighborhood, and forgiveness in the touch of a friendly hand, in a rediscovered love God is there.
people choices catholic
People came into the Church in the Roman Empire because the Church was so good-Catholics were so good to one another, and they were so good to pagans, too. High-pressure evangelization strikes me as an attempt to deprive people of their freedom of choice.
thinking example kind
I think the only kind of acceptable evangelization is the evangelization of good example.
mass-destruction mushrooms clouds
Note the three most important Cabinet positions. Rice said that it was better to find the weapons of mass destruction than to see a mushroom cloud.
catholic lines draws
God draws straight with crooked lines.
song life-and-love forgotten
My songs will pass and be forgotten. What counts, however, is that I sang them.
done begin-again hard
It is possible to begin again. It is hard, and we never do it perfectly, but it can be done.
friendship creative different
There is an electricity about a friendship relationship. We are both more relaxed and more sensitive, more creative and more reflective, more energetic and more casual, more excited and more serene. It is as though when we come in contact with our friend we enter into a different environment.
