Bishop Pere Casaldáliga - what a man

Wouldn't this story renew one's belief in priesthood.

What a man. No doubt the angels in heaven have received him with open arms.

Isn't this really what priesthood is about. And surely priesthood cannot be about all the mad 'stuff' that seems in fashion at present? All the liturgical paraphernalia, candles, statues, crazy liturgical vestments. And then all the fake holy gestures.

An open letter:

No doubt he and Damian Byrne often met and discussed what was happening in the world and with the people of God.
