Whereas each and every one of us, from big to small, as individuals can and do make mistakes, because of our free will, for which we are forgiven seven times 70 times and more, the teaching of the Catholic Church cannot and will not change and this despite John Guillaumier’s desire to have it do so (Church Harks Back To Past, June 18).

The Church is founded on rock and we have it on the authority of the Son of God that the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

In the short time that the recently elected Pope has been in office, he has been exceedingly simple and humble. Doubtless, further on in his Pontificate, he will spare no effort to reach out to one and all like the Good Shepherd that he is.

Unfortunately, there will always be some sheep that will go astray.
