If you follow the <i>Catholic Culture</i> link it will give a summary of a controversy earlier in the Year. I vaguely remember reading the press release and being impressed with the balanced but firm tone of it.<br /><br />I agree that "pastoral approach" is sometimes a cover for avoiding unpleasant truths. I think the opposite of it would be something like "doctrinally correct". that wouldn't necessarily be an all-good thing either. The generation raised on the Baltimore Catechism (which I liked, sort of) has drifted away from the Church and bolsters the ranks of the "I'm a Catholic but" school of thought.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610556619154771257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16661837.post-60179692814958492292009-07-19T20:27:18.561-07:002009-07-19T20:27:18.561-07:00I came to myephemerisblogspot.com by way of search...I came to myephemerisblogspot.com by way of searchig for an antonym for "pastoral approach." In my experience it seems that a "pastoral" approach is one way of avoiding the "orthodox" approach. What does it mean to you? The "document" link was a dead end. What document is being referred to?
