I'll never stop dreaming that one day we can be a real family together all of us laughing and talking loving and understanding not looking at the past but only to the future.
In search of a complete education with the ideals of trust faith understanding and compassion many families are turning to the structure discipline and academic standards of Catholic schools.
The New Right in many cases is doing nothing less than placing a heretical claim on Christian faith that distorts confuses and destroys the opportunity for a biblical understanding of Jesus Christ and of his gospel for millions of people.
Faith is a dynamic and ever-changing process not some fixed body of truth that exists outside our world and our understanding. God's truth may be fixed and unchanging but our comprehension of that truth will always be partial and flawed at best.

It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men kindness and generosity openness honesty understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest sharpness greed acquisitiveness meanness egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.
