Meménto, homo, quia pulvis es, et in púlverem revertéris.

Remember, man, that thou art dust, and unto dust thou shalt return.

You miss being a priest.

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

I miss the surety of knowing my place.

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

Oh.

...

You could always go back. If that's what you need.

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

I am not certain that I belong there anymore, to be perfectly honest.

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

Oh.

...

Why not?

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

My views on some things and that of the Catholic Church are no longer quite the same. They tend to take a dim view on the idea of a priest who has fallen in love, for instance, or rather one who acts upon such feelings.

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

That doesn't mean you couldn't go back.

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

Actually, I rather believe it does mean exactly that for the moment. At least until such a time as the Church changes it's thinking at any rate.

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

It would take you back if you went.

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I think that the time has come for me to explore some other options for a time.

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

Okay.

Would you do me a favor and tell Duncan (http://ynez-castillo.livejournal.com/133113.html) that it isn't an odd question when I ask what his favorite cheese is? Please?

He'll listen to you.

[on-holy-ground.livejournal.com]

He doesn't always, but I will try just the same.

[ynez-castillo.livejournal.com]

Thank you. You're good to me. God, why did I think that was important? Cheese! I am insane!
