What a subject to start this blog with. I'm a Catholic, and should be over the moon that he's coming to the United Kingdom, but the Institutional Church isn't that important to me.
I criticise the Church. A priest I used to work with once said to me, 'Criticise, but do it within the church. So many people leave.'
So I'm here to criticise.
I also love the Church. I love the little parish I attend, with the wonderful people there, all with their stories of hurt and guilt, love and happiness.
So I'm also here to celebrate.
But I'm here for many reasons. That's why I call this blog Alannah's Meanderings. I hope to post my ideas, questions, insights, anything.
I don't want it to be flippant. I have other blogs where I joke and chat.
This is my serious blog with my deeper thoughts in it. As I'm an introvert, I do not reveal myself very easily, and so this blog is anonymous. That way I can write from the heart.
I hope you enjoy it, dear non-existent reader. I'm sure I'll enjoy creating it.
ALANNAH,
ReplyDeleteYou are a Catholic. I am a Christian. But I think we might enjoy each other's opposite Blogs. I'm watching the Pope's visit on TV and all the historical pomp and circumstance. I was also raised on Shakespeare and English literature somewhat. I love the swans of Stratford on Avon. By the way, discoveries in archeology have always supported the incidents in the Bible.

Hi, Bill, I'll gladly follow your blog. Just to point out that Catholics are Christians too. Iknow a lot of biblical incidents e.g. flood, are supported by archeololgy,but I still think the Bible teaches us theological truth, not scientific fact.
