(Part Two) Father Robin Ryan continues: “We must let go the church of the 1950s… That was the glory days of Catholicism with the Knights of Columbus and the use of the rosary. There are now opposing tendencies that we see; one that is a progressive perspective and the other being a traditional/ conservative perspective. I believe there is plenty room in between. Plenty of room for the truth, and I believe, there is truth in both perspectives…
“People need to know what we believe, but we need a healthy balance between ‘anything goes’ and one that says everything the church thinks and does is unchangeable… The vision of the church Pope Francis provides gives us clues as to how the church is to move forward…”
