Good article. Have you read the book by Maria Simma, “Get Us Out of Here!”??
Says the same thing and a lot more.
This was an interesting article in terms of showcasing an opinion, but of course, in the end it is a division within your church. Leaders on both sides. In terms of the central thrust of your thread, it remains just one view among multiple Catholic views.
I will leave that internal debate to you.
In terms of the Truth of God’s Holy Word... total silence to support the view you advance. Not a single verse that I saw to present as irrefutable evidence.
Still, it was informative about the internecine thing going on. Thanks for directing me to it.
