Fr. Ryland, a Protestant convert, on being a faithful Catholic and not picking and choosing Church teachings, thereby making yourself the final authority:

"You can't be a little bit pregnant and you can't be a little bit Catholic; you either are or you ain't"

We were also thankful tonight to receive a wonderful blessing for Clare from Fr. Ryland. It means so much to me when priests pray for her. As I type, she is moving around confirming her enthusiasm :) Every day, especially now as we near her birth, I look forward to the moment that we will finally behold her and see God's handiwork. She truly is the supreme gift of our marriage.
