Bishop McElroy's hopeful vision for a church transformed
Bishop Ramon's background as an itinerant laborer mirrors the desperate circumstances of the Lord and his family. He has been tried by fire and found solace in faith. This faith mirrors that of Jesus, who looked beyond the nation to the Samaritans and Gentiles. Would that all priests and bishops shared such a Christ-like formation.
The uncertainty he lived is the uncertainty we now faith, as it is the Covid fear that is preventing people form seeking help and in following the science. That fear has been imposed from on high, with the best of intentions. It is a virus in itself that only faith can cure, and not faith in science. Mistakes in virus etiology have allowed Covid free reign. This is a secret that cannot be kept, so we must adopt a forgiving heart. The Church can lead us there in the way of Christ.
