I'm not going to make that judgement. I'm not the archbishop.

Dr. Pence is on some kind of mission of his own, and he has knitted together these charges and rumors of different kinds into some kind of whole, and he's trying to use them to ride on the coattails of a horrible tragedy. We shouldn't even have to dignify it by responding.

It is certainly OK for anybody in an official capacity of the Church to minister to and be receptive to people with a same-sex orientation. As long as he follows the dictates of the Church.

Any communication between a priest and the archbishop is personal and confidential. But obviously there is a point of disagreement there someplace in his homilies or some of the things on the radio.

Now the valley cried with anger, "Mount your horses draw your sword." And they killed the mountain people, so they won their just reward. Now they stood beside the treasure, on the mountain dark and red. Turned the stone and looked beneath it. "Peace on earth" was all it said. Go ahead and hate your neighbor,go ahead and cheat a friend. Do it in the name of heaven, you can justify it in the end. There won't be any trumpets blowing come the judgment day. On the bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away.

Don't judge me as if you are a saint. Don't look at me as if you haven't sinned.
