They want to talk and have everyone else listen, and they will talk and talk and talk, until they convince everyone else that they are right and everyone else was wrong. But when asked to listen to someone else talking, and the refusal is so abrubt that it is just plain rude. Forbid that anyone should say anything that these revisionists would find unagreeable. We should all know by now that it is their way or the highway. But they forget, and we remember, that the highway is in fact the road to Damascus. Once again we see the same old thing.

I even feel sorry for the interim priest sent in to hold the broken place for the bishop. A retired prison chaplain, I presume he's accustomed to broken situations and hard cases. Still, I don't suppose he welcomed this particular assignment with any great joy. I will remember them all in my prayers this Sunday.
