  • Parable of Pharisee and tax collector teaches us healthy autonomy

    If someone is lacking autonomy, they can be pompous and self-divinized on one hand or an existential wasteland on the other.

    Pray that priests never use law to shut door to salvation, pope says

    • Oct 19, 2017

    During his morning Mass, Pope Francis told a story about a priest who demanded a father not be present at his child’s baptism ceremony because he had been divorced. The pope said such a priest takes away “the key of knowledge” and “closes the door” on people. Francis said God wants his disciples to live so that they can also help “open the door” to God for themselves and for others.
