"Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, 'Lord, save me!' Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught Peter, and said to him, 'O you of little faith, why did you doubt?' After they got into the boat, the wind died down. Those who were in the boat did Him homage, saying, 'Truly, You are the Son of God.'"

"Today in America, Catholics helping other Catholics find a way out of their Catholic marriages is a very big machine, and it hums along a certain way and in a certain direction. I myself used to support that system on the layman’s end of things, steering family and friends toward annulment and with no concern that they wouldn’t get one (they always did). I’ve repented of that; I’ve confessed it. The temporal effects remain, however—in the parishes, in the community, in the extended family, with the spouses who didn’t want any of this, and with the children" (Leila Miller, June 2026)
As far as this blogger knows, there are no limitations on the faculties of James Martin, SJ, in Pa or Jersey. As Bishops Barres did with Edward Beck, CP, in Long Island, how wonderful it would be for Archbishop Perez & Bishop O'Connell (and certainly Cardinal Tobin and the other ordinaries) to remove those faculties!
