Here comes Nobody

I ALWAYS liked that the name of my religion was also an adjective meaning all-embracing.
I was a Catholic and I wanted to be catholic, someone engaged in a wide variety of things. As James Joyce wrote in “Finnegans Wake:” “Catholic means ‘Here comes everybody.’ ”
So it makes me sad to see the Catholic Church grow so uncatholic, intent on loyalty testing, mind control and heresy hunting. Rather than all-embracing, the church hierarchy has become all-constricting. 
( I grew up as a Red Letter Christian in the other - English - Catholic church and tended to find they have grown less stuffy with time...though, working nights and weekends, I seldom darken any church door these days ; and infrequent the Uniteds or Presbyterians.
 Which isn't to say I haven't looked around at some point. My son is the explorer these days, with a heavy exposure to Wycca. )
