Here's something to ponder — Adultism. Is it a problem?

Dear Friends,

It's a funny sort of lead commentary today. I still don't know what to make of it. Fr John O'Keefe sent it into me a few days ago and I had to confess I'd never heard of the expression "Adultism". I queried whether he had coined the word but John emailed me back to say he hadn't and wasn't precisely sure where he'd picked it up from. He has a feeling it might have been Matthew Fox. Anyway, have a read and we'd welcome your thoughts. Personally I think we have enough "–isms" in the world without having to add another one nevertheless I do find the thrust of what he is driving at is worth thinking about. <Click HERE to read Fr John's commentary>

CHRISTMAS GIFTS: Thanks to some generous donations we've recceived at Catholic lately, we've decided to extend a bit of generosity ourselves and in the lead-up to Christmas have made an offer to Catholic charities who are offering Gift stores and Gift Registers at Christmas free advertising on our website. The first to take up our offer is Catholic Mission and we're running an advertisement for their Gift Registry on our Forum page today. If you are looking for Christmas gifts why not check out their advertisement and clicking on it will take you to their Gift Registry. Thank you to all who have contributed to our work also. <Click HERE to visit our forum>

Best wishes for a great day wherever you happen to be ... in life or in our world!
