You may have seen the television advertisements from the Cardinal. Priests give advice, refer or just listen. It s anonymous, and they re getting over 1,000 calls a week. We ask them what s on their mind, said Monsignor Charles Devlin, of the Philadelphia Archdiocese. Marriage problems, loneliness, unhappiness.
People call with all types of problems.
But over 20 percent of the calls come from people of other faiths. Lots of lonely people out there, lots of lonely people out there, marriages as I say may be on the rocks, Devlin said. Some just ask that they pray for them saying they re under stress. Monday, the archdiocese began using a new tool. They have a Website with two new e-mail addresses for faster communication and information.
