Two “Moments” with Bp. Hying during his ad limina visit. He has good insights.

And among the most pressing questions are not only where Catholics stand on current political affairs…

I want to give two thumbs up for good old-fashioned experience, just experiencing life to its top … just having an experience! Too often in today’s hurried age and also in this time of 24/7 news, we rush past experience right to analysis. Too often we insist on knowing immediately what something “means” and what to think about it…
