Bishop Thomas John Paprocki on Islamic Violence LA SALETTE JOURNEY - May 17, 2013 ... Excellency: What we need for real conversation about religion It was a more innocent day when I ran the Boston Marathon on April 20, 1998. The biggest security issue back then was dealing with the "bandits" who would run the race without qualifying, without registering, and without paying the entrance fee. They would not get a medal at the finish line and their time was not officially counted, but every year a few thousand bandits would sneak in to run the 26.2 mile course ...http://lasalettejourney.blogspot.com/2013/05/bishop-thomas-john-paprocki-on-islamic.html

How You Do This Moment Is Probably Who You Are IN SPIRITU ET VERITATE - May 16, 2013 Isn't it strange that a religion that began with a call to change or letting go has become a religion that has been so impervious and resistant to change? Many Catholics think that what it means to be a Christian is to be in love with the 13th century, or the 16th century if you are Protestant, thinking that "this is when Christians were really Christians and God was really God."
