Having read the article about James Martin, SJ, and the retiring Archbishop Chaput’s response, I have two thoughts. One, Archbishop Chaput and others who agree with him love to say that Pope Francis and those priests who agree with him are “confusing” laypeople. I would like to assure them that I, and many others like me, as laity, are NOT confused – we have our God-given capacity to think, learn and growl. My second thought is that it is beyond belief that any “educated” Catholic would state that “the Church has NEVER changed Her teaching.” Of course teachings change. We are in process, growing, changing, evolving. Anyone or anything which refuses to grow is dead. And the cosmic risen Christ is totally ALIVE. How sad that some people are afraid of life.
