Your article on “The Passion of the Christ”   is excellent. We've been having quite a discussion down here. Keep the faith!

I'm trained as an evolutionary biologist, and I think your piece (God vs. Darwin)”does an admirable job of drawing the vital distinctions and then achieving clarity on each of the questions you distinguish. This is something we can use a lot more of.

I found your essay on the Passion movie very interesting and enlightening.  I particularly liked your description of the Catholic teaching on the incarnation.  It gave me a new understanding of Jesus that I hadn't had.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Web minister” Andover, MA

Your CrossCurrents analysis of parish closings encapsulates the state of affairs in a very open & honest way. I hope many people read it.

I am very impressed with the whole web-site and very pleased that you are part of it. I found you comments on Pope Benedict very intriguing. You have re-energized my efforts to be more in tune with social justice and the Church.

Im grateful, these days, to hear a voice of reason, clarity, and charity. Your insight and experience help to keep the fire burning. I am enjoying every word.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Parishioner Amesbury, MA

Your work and your deep spiritual love for the Church has kept me tethered in spite of an unsure attitude that the Catholic Church has anything to offer me and others these days.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pastor

Well done!  Your latest CrossCurrents column gave expression to some of my anger on a host of levels and I needed that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Parishioner Brockton, MA

I really liked the CrossCurrents pieces on Bishop O’Malley. And when I read the part on leadership I said to myself,  “This is Fantastic!” It’s the best definition of pastoral leadership I have ever seen.
