This blog attempts at representing a liberal and open attitude towards society and church.
Asking for for the blog to be closed down or using pejorative terms to describe it causes a distraction to the issues at hand. It also lowers the tone and can easily turn it into a personal row.
This blog attempts at looking at the current situation within society and the institutional church, but always in the context of recent history.
Mistakes have been made. There have been terrible cover ups and far too often to protect the institution. All that is part of being human. But to try to say now that we should refuse to see reality as it is, is yet again a sign of fear and insecurity.
The Dominican ideal is an ideal worth living. We all fail in our aspirations. We all live it out in different ways. But to try to 'sell' something by censorship is a nonsense.
There will be no more comment on this blog relating to this issue. The author has not been censored. But in discussion with a wise and good person it has been decided to keep silent in this forum on the issue.
