Jesus models for us the inclusion that God has for all people.  None of us are without sin nor should we judge others-that is for God alone.  Precepts of the Church help us develop our moral and ethical lives.  A well-formed conscience becomes the grounding force for Catholic living. As the Holy Spirit guides the Church, we come to new insights and understandings.  Catholic faith, based in the Scriptures, Magisterial Teaching and Apostolic Traditions coupled with reason, intelligence and a well-formed conscience is a faith open to God's ongoing revelation.  It is not about maintaining the way things have "always been"!  As the Psalmist has sung, God writes straight with crooked lines.  Let's journey together and grow in God's love.
