Bishop T. Tobin says that a lack of faith is the cause of people feeling alienated from the Church institution. But I wonder, why is it not seen as a FAR GREATER FAITH for people to see God bursting through the petty institution and its repetitive and rather banal rituals and penetrating the whole world and the whole range of human diversity and experience? It requires a far greater faith to believe that God reaches out and accompanies all of us this way, wherever we wander.
