Of all the columns I imagined writing when I started out at this job, itâ??s safe to say that Sundayâ??s piece, in which I suggested that conservative Catholics should â??resistâ? their pope if he seems intent on leading the church off a doctrinal precipice, was not one of them. So itâ??s worth saying something briefly about my own personal religious perspective on the church to which I belong.
