I have enjoyed reading a blog written by a now ex-Wycliffe student Erik who I studied with. Now Wycliffe Hall Oxford has a reputation for many things but preparing students for the Catholic priesthood is not one of them. Well, until now, that is. In fact two of my former student colleagues are now on their way to Rome. Yes, this is really true.
Catholicism comes with lots of questions for me. What about transubstantiation? What about Mary? What about contraception? What about women in leadership? What about the theology of Priesthood? What about Confession? What about Pergatory? I could go on. These are questions that Erik has grappled with in enormous detail and he is quite some thinker, reader and writer. This is rigorous and thoughtful stuff.
So, if you want to go on one man's journey from Wycliffe to the Catholic Church then do explore his blog called Of Priests and Paramedics.
He is currently addressing the vexed question of Catholicism and sex!
