Joining the Lamentation
Fr. Keyes C. PP.S. laments in a past blog that people simply do not wish to engage in conversation about spiritual matters.(It didn't help that shortly after his post, his commenting system went out of phase for about a day and a half, during which any thought I may have had about St. Gaspar's letter completely fled my head.) I have commented before on the awed (or stunned, or bored) silence that ensues upon a post that seems particularly "difficult". And there are a great many explanations for this phenomenon ranging from those initial emotional reactions already mentioned, to assent not requiring comment. But go and tell Fr. Keyes about it so that he won't feel so alone in his difficulties.
