Hi Kevin, have found many of your comments quite interesting. In your latest, "Labor in Crisis", you mentioned the need now for an "alternative" voice to speak for "...justice, common sense...". Don't mean to stir here but isn't that what our Church is suppose to be doing? Insted of leading the way and in a sense being counter cultural we find it hypocritical and materialistic! Recent experience of our catholic nursing home, the most expensive nursing home in the area, at risk of losing accreditation because it has failed in 6 critical care areas. Our local catholic college leaning toward elitism because of all the "extras" offered, with an excuse of "user pays" etc, (tends to be those with the money in the first place are the only one's who can afford the "luxuries") leave me wondering if there is a place for people like me who truly try to live a gospel life? Who try and live by the words in Acts..."...I have neither silver nor gold, but I will give you what I have...". Bit simplistic I know, perhaps that's the problem! Thanks for all you do to "stir the pot"
