Roman and Catholic

"I had to choose between being Roman and being Catholic; and I chose Catholic." So said Father Richard Rohr. I could not disagree more! Today we leave for Rome. In Rome, I hope to become more Catholic: more deeply baptized into Church history, ritual and belief; more closely united with St. Peter and Benedict his successor and the apostles and their successors. In Rome, I hope to become more catholic: open to and embrasive of the multiform splendor of all God's creation and all His people.
