[Magdalen] Latin Invasion?

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Our RC brethren and sisteren are growing in number and large families are 
becoming the norm again, and if one reads up on international RC 
developments, I think that US R Catholics are probably much more 
conservative than their foreign counterparts. For at least 10 years American 
bishops have been trying to not only roll back, but box up and toss out as 
time worn, many Vatican changes. It's not 'our parents RC' any more, it is 
our grandparents...

single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
