Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
One of my favorite “Catholic stories” is about the time the Southern writer Flannery O’Conner was taken by the poet Robert Lowell to a dinner gathering with the well-known author, Mary McCarthy, a proud “lapsed” Catholic.
A co-worker left me a message the other day. He was disturbed and disheartened by the lack of moral rectitude that underlies the polarization defining us as a country these days and thoroughly disgusted with the slimy folk many of our lawmakers have become. To respond I was forced to try and sort it all out and, I must admit, I have been unable to do so completely.
