Michael Garvey's "Still Catholic" | National Catholic Reporter
Michael Garvey's "Still Catholic" | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: He ignores papal critic Gary Wills tome on the same issue. Gary offers a few examples, like the Our Father for why he stays, although given what he says I would restate his thesis as it is our Church as it is the hierarchy's and we are not leaving. Of course, the cynical proof of the existence of God is that even with the corruption of the hierarchs, we still recieve grace from the Sacraments (including Eucharist but not only - Baptism has a lot to do with it). It can be stated even more simply. God keeps us here. (of course others have simply not tried out some of the other Real Pressence faiths - specifically the Presbyterians and Episcopaleans - God is there too in the Sacraments - regardless of what Rome says).
