María Blanca Vela Segovia writes from Buenos Aires:

“I doubt whether the good bishop you mention [Web of 1 February] resigned for reasons of health. His doctrine is quite advanced and daring. Personally I find it wholly true. I suppose that, sooner or later, the Church will have to revise in depth her attitude on sex. I feel extremely happy that you touch upon these themes in your widely read and much appreciated Web page. I believe this is vital for many Catholics who are left with the feeling they are permanently living in mortal sin. What a great pity! I say I feel happy, particularly for my smaller brothers, for my nephews and nieces, grand-nephews and grand-nieces who have their whole life before them. I’m already ‘beyond that’ as I am happily 75… and I’m single! But in my youth those teachings tortured me morally in an incredible way.”

Thank you, María Blanca, and there are many people who have written to me in the same sense. Most of them women.
