The Public Conversation
Blogged by James Preece on 20th February 2009
Anybody who has ever criticised my blog for publicaly criticising parishes and priests by name has a moral duty to complain to The Tablet who have published an article criticising Fr Tim Finigan by name.
From now on I will consider any priest that chooses to distribute The Tablet in his parish to be fair game for blogging, since they obviously approve.
Not fair?
I suppose the difference is that The Tablet are reporting only good things about Fr Tim Finigan...
Haw Haw...
No but seriously, now that you've played the "draw attention to it" card what comes next? The thing about people who are not trying to undermine the Church is that they don't mind if people find out about it.
Unlike those who are...
"Shhhhhh... We're not doing anything wrong or anything but don't tell anybody!"

Or to put it another way:
This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God. - John 3:19-21
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. - Eph 5:8-14
