Great story from NPR that a friend shared on Facebook.
Julio Diaz has managed to live out the values inherent in the Sermon on the Mount in a simple but profound way. May God bless him. For that matter, may God bless his mugger as well. No telling how Julio's response may affect that kid for the rest of his life.
Rantings and reflections from a middle-aged man who simulataneously loves some aspects of Catholicism and wrestles painfully with some of the faith's other teachings and traits. An unapologetic "cafeteria Catholic." Not ready to give up on this church just yet, not ready to jump ship; just trying to light a couple emergency flares...or maybe just light a single candle rather than curse the darkness, to borrow the words of the Christophers. Welcome to my version of progressive Catholicism.

I just wanted to let your know that your comment on Fr. Longenecker's blog led me to yours, and you have a new fan. Your insights and honesty are fantastic - thank you.
Thanks, MC...That's very kind of you. (For what it's worth, I'm trying to kick the habit of reading Fr. L's blog. I'm 87% less jaded when I stay away from there for a month at a time!)
