    Fr. Joseph Jenkins

  • The blog header depicts an important and yet mis-understood New Testament scene, Jesus flogging the money-changers out of the temple. I selected it because the faith that gives us consolation can also make us very uncomfortable. Both Divine Mercy and Divine Justice meet in Jesus. Priests are ministers of reconciliation, but never at the cost of truth. In or out of season, we must be courageous in preaching and living out the Gospel of Life. The title of my blog is a play on words, not Flogger Priest but Blogger Priest.

Left unsaid is that past sterilizations helped to hide the molestation of women prisoners by their jailers. We had similar incidents in facilities for the mentally challenged. In any case, forced sterilizations is a major human rights violation.

What can I say? Maybe we had better keep up the Maryland Catholic Conference Marriage Matters campaign?
