At the root of our concerns is building community and inclusion, something that our "pastor", ironically, is not about. <BR/><BR/>We keep stressing that the Church teaches that there is room at the table for ALL, including sinners, and who is not a sinner? But Louie, whether by his own will or by letting himself be easily persuaded by narrow-minded exclusionists of little faith and poor knowledge of the Gospel and the Church, shuts the door on those who don't exclaim, "yes, yes, Monsignor, whatever you say!", no matter how wrong you may be.<BR/> <BR/>Those who did not know Holy Spirit Parish before June 18th, 2003, may be excused from not understanding why we continue the struggle. Most Catholic parishes are not like Holy Spirit was, unfortunately. But we who were lucky enough to be there 3 years ago have seen the transfiguration of the Church; we know what the Church can and should be like, and it is impossible for us to go back.<BR/><BR/>Justice, then peace in Christ,<BR/>Guy Hallman - I will be there to the end.Kanickershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00088384274692597915noreply@blogger.com
