As we look backward in life, we might be struck by how as kids, we accepted pronouncements from Authority, occasionally, straining against it. But as we become adults dogmatic statements, especially because of grammatical error, or some other tiny bit of grit… it just doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t match our own efforts to do what we can, to make sense of life.
If it bothers us, imperfect as we are, what must God think?
I’ve never understood why people remained Catholic and for sure, many don’t. There is such a history of corruption.
I second Marsha Warenoff's statement below yet again!!! WE NEED YOUR VOICE IN ELECTED OFFICE FOR TEXAS AND THE USA!
And the Catholic Church wonders why people are leaving in droves? What a stupid thing!
I continue to be disappointed that you are not representing us in political office ! We need you!
Matthew you speak the truth and are articulate and unique and that is sad.

A wonderful article and very true.
Absolutely! So on point and perfectly said!
So spot on. You give us a ray of hope. Thanks so much for the post.
Matthew, I very much appreciate your point of view.
