It's nice to have Catholics as allies instead of enemies, but the war against legalism continues. The need for a clear word about God's love and grace has never been greater. We are submerged in a culture of demands. Our jobs no longer seem secure. The company tells us that we are going to have to do more with less.
Many professionals feel hampered by the threat of lawsuit.
Our young people wonder how they are going to prepare for the next game and still get their homework done. Every hour of the week is saturated with the language of law rather than grace. There's no free lunch. The pressure is on all sides. It seeps through the walls of our homes.
