I was recently cleaning up my office and the hundreds (if not thousands) bits of Traditional Flotsam and Jetsam that I've accumulated over the decades.
This letter, for reasons that will become obvious, caught my eye and consequently not only was it saved from the bin, but I also scanned it to share this wisdom of the past.
Why publish this letter?
To present a priest who, in 1988, with clarity identified key issues that the Church is facing today.
Namely:
- Homosexual 'unions' (p6),
- indissolubility of marriage and the admission of the divorced/remarried to communion (p7),
- contraception (p7),
- exclusively male priesthood (p8) and priestly celibacy (p7),
- proclaiming the Gospel without fear or ambiguity (p8),
It is indeed a 'worthy read' as we see, even in the heady days of 1988, a clear and Catholic approach.
