Tornado Alley (PROG)

Let me guess you missed something in that article. Damn nothing like being holier than though these days I guess.

Late Tuesday, Johnson received a letter of apology [ www.washingtonpost.com/r/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2012/02/29/Local/Graphics/Letter%20to%20Barbara%20Johnson.%20BCK.%2002282012.pdf ] from the Rev. Barry Knestout, one of the archdiocese’s highest-ranking administrators, who said the lack of “kindness” she and her family received “is a cause of great concern and personal regret to me.”

“I am sorry that what should have been a celebration of your mother’s life, in light of her faith in Jesus Christ, was overshadowed by a lack of pastoral sensitivity,” Knestout wrote. “I hope that healing and reconciliation with the Church might be possible for you and any others who were affected by this experience. In the meantime, I will offer Mass for the happy repose of your mother’s soul. May God bring you and your family comfort in your grief and hope in the Resurrection.”

Johnson called the letter “comforting” and said she greatly appreciates the apology.
