It's not just prophets who are taking a beating. How about that parish priest in Mount Carmel, Illinois, Rev. Bill Rowe, who was forced to resign when he decided on pastoral grounds to continue to humanize and make more personal some of the prayers and formulas recited at Mass. The guy is a communicator who knows his audience. The story is at http://www.bnd.com/2012/02/04/2044617/priest-loses-job-for-changing.html.

Comment on From the Margins? What does that mean? by CK

I think that for me, the sense of being marginalized is when I feel that I'm not being taken seriously. Growing up in the Post Vatican II church was wonderful because I felt that I was included in what "being Church" was all about. Recently, however, I feel that the Church as an institution is saying "it's our way or the highway" and to question it was being disrespectful… but if a wrong is being committed, am I not ethically (indeed morally!) bound to try and put a stop to that wrong?
