A reader argues modern Christian life is burdened by too many rules. Jesus’ two greatest commands are highlighted as a simple path: love God and love neighbor. The note mentions gospel group The Williams Brothers and cites their 1973 Still Here album with songs like Come As You Are Walk With Me All I Need is You and Tell Somebody.

He discussed the John Jay College report on priest sexual abuse, priest shortages, and possible use of Deaconesses, noting 4 percent of 110,000 active priests were involved in abuse 1950 to 2002. He outlined plans to share priests among 127 parishes and to travel to Asia, praising nuns’ 3838 years of service and honoring six with long-service awards.
