Ordinary Old Catholic Me
There are lots of Catholics like me out there. We are lifelong practitioners of a certain age, folks who remember Pre-Vatican Two and were thrown into the deep end of Post-Vatican Two where we still swim. We are well read, but we are not theologians. We need to stick together so that we can navigate the tides of modern life which are probably just as choppy as they were 2000 years ago. Ordinary Old Catholic Me is Ordinary Old Catholic You. Let‘s walk together!

We are in the month of remembering those who have died. I have been thinking of all those people that have passed through the pews of my parish in the last nearly 40 years of my attendance. Hard to believe indeed. So many souls. We must pray for them. As we hope we will receive prayers when we are only memories to the next generation of our respective parishes.

If we are fortunate, we will reach an old age. But that comes with its own sufferings for which we need to prepare, practically and spiritually. As someone who spends considerable time with the generation just ahead of me, I know that I have a lot of work to do spiritually, assuming I make it to their good age.
