A Challenge?

A dear friend of mine, who is a priest in England, has just told me about things that are afoot there. It appears Bishop Patrick O'Donaghue, Bishop of Lancaster has today (27 August) released "Fit for Mission?" In this it shows the Church offers practical guidance on how to live out the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, through challenging common misinterpretations of the key council documents on Liturgy, Revelation, the Church, and the Church in the world.

Bishop Patrick is convinced that if we regain the Catholic sense of balancing change with continuity, the life of our parishes will be energised by the gifts of the Holy Spirit given at the Second Vatican Council.

I have downloaded it, and though it is 92 pages, I am going to try to read this document and perhaps you might consider it too. We need to reconsider our faith and recommit ourselves to promoting it, if we truly desire to be disciples of Jesus Christ. Perhaps the good Bishop may give us over here on "the other side of the pond" a little kick in the pants to do it!
