This article is excellent--absolutely excellent, and I can't add much more beyond that. I've printed it out so I can re-read it carefully (I tend to absorb words better when I read them offline). I pray this article reaches and touches very many souls!

The missional hermeneutic for approaching Sacred Scripture and the Church is what I prefer... it acknowledges that everything is *not* alright but we have the good news and with this good news of Jesus Christ and His kingdom we can cultivate a virtue of that is authentic positivity.

Fr. Chris, I can not tell you how much your post resonates with me, and I want to thank you for writing this. I admit I will have to reread a few things, but what stuck out is a concern I think we all have or at least should admit is happening. I will say it's the elephant in the room and how we want to wear a mask while dancing around issues that may ultimately damage the Catholic Culture (if it has not done so already.) I wanted to highlight one of many things in your article, where you write, "today in the Church, it often misuses the term good-news. Such good news typically focuses on accidental realities in the Church that cover up (or put a mask on) the rot and areas where God's judgment zealously appeals to us requesting repentance."

Thank you for serving the Church and the flock.
