It was interesting to hear Patsy McGarry on the radio the other morning urging people not to get too excited about the imminent release of the papal pastoral letter. He was sure that the letter would help “repentance, healing and renewal” but remained convinced that the letter would not be an instant panacea for all the damage that has been done. Restraint and cautious optimism was what Patsy was advocating.
So remember what you were like in the preamble to the last pastoral letter? How you couldn’t sleep for weeks, how you couldn’t keep your mind on your work such was your giddiness, how you spent days scouring the internet looking for an excerpt or a sneak preview, how you were constantly calling your friends to see if they’d heard anything.
Don’t do that this time. Patsy reckons you’ll only be disappointed.
