Responses to "Return to the Fold"

We had many responses to "A Return to the Fold," about Catholics who come back to the church after a long absence.
Some readers, including one identified as "Schmidty," said they would never return because of church prohibitions on contraception, marriage for priests and homosexuality, and because of the pedophile priest scandal. Others praised the Rev. Brian Joyce for reaching out to lapsed Catholics. "I'd LOVE to have Brian Joyce in our parish," wrote Joanne Tansey. "I'd be at his church every Sunday!"
