Contraceptives, a Newsroom Fracas and Wisdom from St. Peter…
If there is one lesson I learned shortly after my “reversion” to the faith six years ago is to avoid arguing about faith and morality with co-workers who hold different opinions than me in a public setting (i.e. our newsroom), especially before having my morning coffee!
Unfortunately, in the passion of a given moment, I can get a bit emotional, as I was several years ago, when I argued more out of pure fervor for my new found faith than understanding or knowledge, amidst several newsroom colleagues, who, aside from the person engaged in the argument with me, mostly kept their heads down to avoid getting hit by flying mortar.
In fact, although, I am now far better informed and can express my faith more eloquently, I still suffer from that same tendency.
