Someone didn't like my comment, but I have no idea why. I will try again.

I asked two questions about the following statement in this article: 
'Noting that people are confronted with "overwhelming life challenges" that prevent them from following the Gospel'

First: is this an accurate representation of what the bishop said? (Only two of the bishop's words are actually quoted.)

Second, if so, does he mean to say that the people he refers to have been denied the grace necessary for "following the Gospel" in their "overwhelming life challenges"? Because that is what it sounds like. And that is quite a statement to make.

Why are these questions not allowed to be asked at this site?
