I wish I could bi-locate and be in Quebec on Friday night

Because I love the new Archbishop of Quebec who will be installed on Friday night. But I will be in Mississauga at the Anglicanorum Coetibus Conference with fellow Anglicans hoping to be part of the Personal Ordinariate in the Catholic Church.

Here's a bit of an interview Archbishop Gerald Cyprien Lacroix gave to The National Post:

Q. What can you do to bring more people back into the pews?
A. I think the first thing is not to try to bring people back to the pews. People in Quebec will resist that. They don’t want us to use them as instruments that fill our pews and raise our statistics. That’s not our mission. Our mission is to bring people to a deeper relationship with the Lord and the Gospel and by doing that the rest falls into place. If God becomes the centre of your life that changes everything and then people will find their way back to the Church. The Pope has said very clearly we’re not looking to build up numbers and statistics.

Q. Some of the Protestant churches have tried innovations such as same-sex blessings or allowing communion without baptism as a way to bring more people in. Is that an option for the Roman Catholic Church?
A. We don’t use tactics and strategies that would diminish the message of the Gospel or discard pages from the Word of God to attract more people. Some people think we’re going to have to change our views on abortion and euthanasia and we’re just going to forget those ideas to attract more people. That will not happen. We have to be faithful to the message of Christ first.

I wish him a fruitful and joyous ministry in Quebec.
