John Langan, SJ, who teaches ethics at Georgetown, penned this article for America, which was mentioned a couple of times in the comment boxes. I think it’s very insightful —typical for Father Langan — and deserved a thread of its own.This is the line that struck me as very apt, in light of our discussions below on unity.”What is needed in the present situation is for a group of bishops to teach in a way that shows that they are sensitive to the wounded condition of American Catholicism and to the complexities of the life issues in a very imperfect world.”
