It is so very ...Hi again Joe and Maryknoll friends. It is so very fine to read that you are sharing so sincerely about this. I really do hope and pray that y'all can keep together as family. Maryknoll can and does have so much to to offer in this transition, which (I agree with Roy) is inevitable. Fr. Bill is probably right that Maryknoll as an institution should not be "leading a charge". Sortof sticking its head up out of the trench to see who's still out there? But by offering new ways of relating -- NOT just being silent -- Maryknoll shows that the church can still give breath to and foster new life. BTW: It is great to read that Bro. Ray Tetrault still has that little flame burning above his head and in his heart! 光が輝いてPetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03409006889296396309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881167609055073107.post-10396406886754175942011-05-25T12:26:11.077-04:002011-05-25T12:26:11.077-04:00"Fr. Bill Donnelly says, "If the Church ..."Fr. Bill Donnelly says, "If the Church (eventually) says it wants to ordain women, great." He says Roy has now made his point, especially with Rome, and there is nothing to be gained by continuing to speak out. Roy's battle is going nowhere. Bill said he would hate to see Roy dismissed from Maryknoll, which would solve nothing."<br /><br />"Fr. Mike Bassano said he is saddened by how the institutional church is treating Roy and our General Council not being more compassionate but rather threatening dismissal."<br /><br />These 2 positions sum it up for me. <br />The 1st seems to be that Fr. Roy should "knuckle under" and continue within Maryknoll. The 2nd decries the manner in which Fr. Roy is being marginalized for his views. <br />I admire and respect Fr. Roy, and in whatever he does, however he is guided, he will have my prayers.Amolibrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759382612854445931noreply@blogger.com
