Friday's
email commentary...
|
|
 The
confusing picture we present of Jesus... Isn't the picture
the Church presents of Jesus confusing? What is the true picture

|

one of the foundational stories of belief — Part II...

behaviour is morally objectionable... Today's issue deserves

but asks in this commentary: "how
do we build communio"?. [more]

 Our
tribute to a special man... As tribute and remembrance to
one of the foundational members of this cyber parish, John Briggs,
who passed to the next life on Easter Monday, in the email commentary
for today we have republished his last post to Catholica.
It is a short but moving reflection that has much to say about the
inner journey to meaning and truth we are all engaged in. [more]
