My latest post at the National Catholic Register.
One of my number one rules of blogging, aside from a three drink limit and a ban on bathtub blogging, is don’t write about Sr. Joan Chittester. It is boring.
That said, I am breaking my rule today because my topic du jour is boring. Not that my topic IS boring, but my post is ABOUT boring. So I judge it ok to break my rule this time.
So fair warning, I am now going to quote Sister. Please do not read this quote if you are operating heavy machinery.

This is my favorite with slight alteration:
"[auto-]navel-gazing performed by the megalo-mundane vainly baptized as 'spirituality.'"

So Lent is not penitential, it is a time for growing. Wait a minute. So, sin doesn't exist, we just haven't "grown" enough?
Does not penance do exactly that– make us conscious of our sins and weaknesses so we can grow into holiness?
