Wow! I was delighted that I received an email reply from Father Drinan today. It would be unethical to post his entire email without his permission, but I don't think he would mind me sharing this part with you:
"I was simply trying to reflect the message given by Vatican II that we
should avoid coercion or discrimination against non-Catholics or
non-believers in any form or shape."
He also mentioned that he was glad to hear that I married into a good Catholic family. :)
I can't help but think that if we had more like Drynan we just might be ok.
