at his best:
"This is the difficulty we have as Catholics in today’s world: We are evangelizing with a handicap.
We are at a disadvantage when we attempt to spread the Gospel because we aren’t 100% able to live it. We’re chained to our vices, some with iron less breakable than others. We serve one Master who only has a plan A- to love. We also serve another master for which we most of our time, money and energy devising, carrying out, and experiencing the effects of a plan B- to love ourselves.
Yet, even in our imperfect human condition, we are still charged by Master A (God, if I wasn’t clear), to carry His love to the ends of the earth. Regardless of the darkness that overshadows our intent, or the malevolent reputation we have inherited by our leaders, we are still justified by Christ in our efforts. We are still conduits of mercy in our brokenness."
