The Times of Malta & Christian Peregin:

"Gozo Bishop's comments on Eucharist draw mixed reaction"

... do not make a mistake, there is only one door ...


Snippet from their Wednesday, May 18, 2011 edition.


"People are divided on the proclamation by Gozo Bishop Mario Grech, who hinted that Catholics promoting divorce legislation are wolves in sheep's clothing.

"Mgr. Grech said those not in line with Church teachings should not expect to receive the Eucharist, a comment which some interpreted as a spiritual threat against those planning to vote yes in the referendum [which 53% of them sure enough did!].

"But while comments flooded in online to label him intolerant, ridiculous and arrogant, others defended his homily on Sunday as being in line with Church dogma.

"Fr. Charlo Camilleri said the homily had to be taken in its context.

"The bishop, he said, was speaking during the celebration of the sacrament of confirmation, explaining the gospel of the Good Shepherd, where Christ presents himself as the one door.

"Bishop Grech said: If we want to find the right door, shortly ... and adults, understand what I'm trying to say ... do not make a mistake, there is only one door..."

Good point, your excellency! :)
