Quotable & Notable |
Issue Date: June 4, 2004 Quotable & Notable As a priest and bishop, I do not favor a confrontation at the
altar rail with the Sacred Body of the Lord Jesus in my hand. There are
apparently those who would welcome such a conflict, for good reasons, I am
sure, or for political ones, but I would not. “There is little grace to be found in
disputes over who is more barbarous than whom.” John Kerry sneaks own wafers into Communion Who would have thought that a story involving the face that
launched a thousand ships would devote more attention to Achilles butt
than his heel? I can tell you some great stories about God healing cars.
Sometimes, you just pray for a revelation. National Catholic Reporter, June 4, 2004 |
