That's amazing. Sad news for the Reporter, but great news for the Church. This tells me that we are closer to an end of many of our troubles than I thought we were. I was having a conversation with 2 adult Catholics, both in their 30's, just yesterday. Not theologically trained, not active in any extraordinary ministries ... just your average, church-on-Sunday Catholics. They both voiced frustrations about how what you hear and learn about Catholicism depends on who you talk to. One priest criticises homosexuality, while one at the next parish over has a weekly "gay Mass." One of these 2 talked about how one of his friends had decided to move in with her boyfriend. This greatly upset her mother, who went to her parish priest for counsel. The priest said, "Wouldn't you like it if she was moving in with a female friend, rather than living along, just so she had some companionship and was safer? Well, think of this as being like that." The mother was aghast. The guy telling me this story was frustrated, saying, "How can that be? One priest would say that's very wrong, another would say it's fine." How indeed. The good news is, If you asked the National Catholic REGISTER the average age of their readership, I guarantee it aint 68. 68! That’s amazing.
