V. - regarding your loss of time sitting & chatting with parishioners/friends about religious issues - <BR/><BR/>The Pastor of a Church I attended in Columbus had a 'breakfast with the Pastor' once a month, where he invited 5-7 people to join him at breakfast in the Rectory. I believe they had to sign up on a list to attend and it was limited to 1 1/2 hours. <BR/><BR/>From how he explained it - the parishioners loved it (unfortunately, I could never get on the list!) and he found it very informative. It also gave him ideas to talk about during the Homilies on Sundays (and many funny things that happened that could never be mentioned).Lillian Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649542879780055108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-48036743622040692902009-01-05T11:31:00.000-08:002009-01-05T11:31:00.000-08:00Yes, Father, those questions related to sex and ge...Yes, Father, those questions related to sex and gender are more than tedious. To me, they illustrate the Church's teaching that no sins are "private" and that in some way they hurt the wider community. What someone did "in private" can be deadly to someone else who is already dealing with serious illness or injury and who receives a transfusion of that person's blood.
