For those of you who remember many common sense comments by Katie in recent years, thoughtful contributions that added to the depth of our discussions at LARC, you'll be edified by her article on marriage found on Catholic Lane. She and her husband have been working hard to forward the discussion on personalism here, and it would be well worth your time to peruse their content and participate in their ongoing disussion group. I suggest you bookmark Catholic Lane, where she and many excellent writers appear regularly -- and kindly spread the word. That and similar sites will contribute enormously to the New Evangelisation, not to mention advancing the cause of authentic faith and freedom.

Thank you - I had not been familiar with the Catholic Lane website; I enjoyed it very much!

Katie's website, "The Personalist Project" is invaluable for untwisting the formation we have received in Regnum Christi. Forming the will without authentic love for persons, without "seeing" the person, sends us down a path far away from God. The subsequent blindness to our own spiritual deformation and how we have hurt others, is startling when brought into the light of truth! In our blindness we have allowed ourselves to be used and then we use others all in the name of "loving Christ" and "loving souls". Oh, how the Sacred Heart must grieve our brokenness. All for The Kingdom!
Thank you, Giselle - and Katie - for bringing this into to the light so we can see.
