Been Gone for Awhile…

it finally happened, the church gave me the boot. Well at least the school part of the Holy Roman Empire. Seems there was a power shift that accompanied the new bishop, and I definitely ended-up on the wrong side, with the wrong friends and very guilty of having attended the wrong schools. I found all this out when my school said they no longer had enough students to keep me on faculty, and the other Holy Roman school boss said he would like to hire me, but was warned not to; we certainly wouldn’t want someone as theologically unstable as myself influencing the young (hope I didn’t do too much damage in those first 17 years…).

I have found a new school, kind of a “boutique” high-school, with tiny class sizes and really pretty furniture. So, for the first time since I was 5 (40 some years or so…), I am starting the school year without penance, guilt, the Sacred Heart of Jesus or the Blessed Virgin. Hope I can make it thru without bursting into some spontaneous “Hail Mary’s.”

In the meantime I am still assigned to my same parish, although with a new pastor in the offing, who knows how much longer…

I have been preaching a little, and will post my recent homilies in the next few days.

Keep me in your prayers, and if anyone knows of a job for a theologian with “theological instability” issues… let me know!
