Father Bramwell, OMI, on the Church and Today’s Culture in the U.S.

“In a sailing ship, a change in the direction of the wind and waves is occasion for all hands on deck to adjust the rigging and trim the sails.

Since then, a series of self-inflicted blows have left the U. S. Church weakened and confused about its identity in American society.”

In a recent commentary, Father Bevil Bramwell, OMI, reflected on recent history of the Catholic Church in the United States and on how the challenges it is currently facing offer a good opportunity for the Church to again focus on its priorities.
