Don't miss the bigger picture

This post title is the permanent link for Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan's "Herald of Hope" column in last week's issue of our Catholic Herald. It starts with the smaller picture, "three unfortunate issues": Daniel Maguire's pamphlets, Kathy Sullivan Vandenberg's "ordination", and Call to Action's plans for "liturgy" with invalidly "ordained" priests and bishops in Milwaukee.

Reaction at Dad29 and Open Book.

    Dear Bob,

    Your incessant and repetitive postings on open bulletin boards and
    interactive web sites, using my e-mail address as your return address

    are irritating the people whose mail boxes you are filling up, and it's
    wearing me out replying.

    Here is what I have been saying to them, each time I get a distressed,
    (or automated) e-mails from anyone on whose web site you have left one

    of your "rants" disguised as a message from me.

    Unfortunately, there is a person using the internet to "stalk" me. He
    has been using my e-mail address to post his unpleasant rants on
    various open access bulletin boards and web sites. Please understand

    that I did NOT write the comments attributed to me. I am sorry that you
    have also become an object of his unwelcome attention.

    From reading your own web site(s), it does not seem to me that any of
    this activity on your part is making Jesus any happier. (All that stuff

    about electric shocks, and sexual organs, and whatnot is pretty
    distressing...) I assume you would say on one of the "ministry of
    dreams" web sites if any of this made you, or Jesus, feel any better...

    Is that right? Would you let us know if doing any of this made you feel
    better?

    So, why don't you give it a rest for a while, and see what that feels
    like?

    Also, who are these other people you keep mentioning whom you say have

    have also "stolen" the phrase "ministry of dreams" from you? I HAVE
    Googled them, as you suggested, and not found the references you tell
    me are supposed to be there...

    What's the story with that?


    This really is an invitation for the two of us to communicate directly,
    if you care to, of if Jesus wants us to...

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Anonymous Dream Minister
    I have been a minister for over 25 years and have been actively carrying out a ministry focused on dreams and dreaming for that entire time. I have taught in seminaries, universities, and workshops all over the world and continue to do so. I have always advocated that working with dreams in general and working with them as a ministry is open to all who are called to it. The world needs as many good dream ministries as it can get. There is room for all at the table (as Jesus so

    eloquently said).
    Ministry of any kind is not about threats, or copyrights or ownership in any way. I can only conclude that you are very new to this and are not aware of the fellowship of ministry. The goal is to help each other, in order to offer help to others. Your hostility, and your implied and specific threats make it difficult for me to simply welcome you to the ranks of the ministry of dreams - which is always what I would prefer to do. I have noted that you have called me a thief in print and the law considers that a libelous statement

    (email to Jim Garrison, 2/15/07). That's unfortunate.
    I wish you peace.
    Reverend Jeremy Taylor, D.Min.
