January 12, 2015Dear Gail,
In regards to the column listed above, I needed to comment. Let me say this is not a usual thing I do but in this case I was uncomfortable about this column.
I am a person who has made a lot of life changes and endorses change for it is healthy and a part of life. The one statement that you quoted threw me a little, was it taken out of context? The quote I am speaking of had this line, “ We must recognize that religious truth evolves and changes. Truth is not absolute or set in stone.”
I was baptized Catholic at birth, my faith has gone through trials, separation and now reconciliation for many, many years. The one truth I knew that was always there was my Church even when I did not agree with it and struggled with my faith. The Church was born out of Love. Therefore I realize you are making a point about change but a part of me feels offended somehow. Not believing this was your intention, sometimes the more we try to explain something the more confused people become. I think this was what I was feeling.
I will close with a quote from my Catechism of the Catholic Church:
“to follow Jesus is to live in “the Spirit of truth,” whom the Father sends in his name and who leads “into all the truth.” To his disciples Jesus teaches the unconditional love of truth: “Let what you say be simply “Yes or No”.
Thanks for listening.

January 12, 2015I appreciate your comment. I did not intend to offend you, but the quote is from the Pope, not me. The Pope is making a point about change and truth.
