CNT 'too controversial' for parish

Catholic New Times, Nov 16, 2003 by Jane Rush

For a number of years I have been getting your great paper at the back of my church.. However, our present pastor has cancelled subscriptions, because the paper is "too controversial" (his words).

Well, I say continue to be controversial! We need articles like yours to help us be good Catholic people. I have been involved in church ministry for several years and have never had a pastor so pre-Vatican 11. Our parishioners suffer from lack of leadership. But with your paper I can at least help to bring a healthy balance.
