Three years on the road
Isn’t Father Tony’s, “Beating of the Bounds” of St. Mary’s Cathedral, “An innovation”, similar to, “the first stage” of the 2021-2024 Synodal process which, “was the convening of Continental Assemblies“; nevertheless, isn’t it time I, with synodality, “followed him on foot“, instead of having Bishop Zurek, in his clericalism, continue to charge me with, “awful bashing against other members of the Body of Christ“❓
Today’s Office of the Readings
I am so sorry that you have to experience this awful bashing against other members of the Body of Christ manifested here.
From a letter from Bishop Patrick J. Zurek to the Faith Community at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Amarillo.
The Continental Assemblies of the Synod 2021-2024, “brought together the local Churches of the same region, inviting them to learn to listen to each other, to accompany each other on the journey, and to discern together the main challenges to fulfilling the mission present in their contexts“; however, I believe that the synod process at St. Mary’s Cathedral was,” imbued with clericalism“, “because Bishop Zurek trampled, “on the heads of ordinary people“, and withdrew,, “into solitude as if he were already considered righteous, instead of coming together and seeking out the common good;…
Today’s First Reading
…indeed, had not Bishop Zurek, “raised false confidence in this people“, that the synod process would, “plant dreams, …give strength to our hands“, but hasn’t His Excellency’s clericalism only produced documents;…
Today’s Responsorial Psalm
…therefore, “Lord, teach me your statutes“, so that I can let myself, “be educated by the Spirit to a truly synodal mentality;…
Today’s Alleluia
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
…moreover, remembering that, “One does not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God“;…
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Today’s Gospel
…that just as consumer movements, “prove successful in changing the way businesses operate, forcing them to consider their environmental footprint and their patterns of production“; subsequently, can not I change the way Bishop Zurek operates with clericalism by encouraging St. Mary’s Cathedral to get out with Father Tony in, “Beating the Bounds”; and perhaps “ a crowd that, “followed him on foot“ with synodality could prove successful❓
