Scenario #5 Support for a Support Group

Joe and Marian have recently noticed more and more unorthodox practices creeping into the parish. Some people don't believe in the Real Presence. Lay people are teaching that homosexuality is okay. Occasionally the deacon even muses that women should be allowed to become priests. When Joe and Marian approached their pastor about their concerns, they were rebuffed. Now they are wondering, what is the best way to handle the situation? Do they take it up the chain of command? Should they even stick around? What Would You Do?

The "What Would You Do" department of Envoy Magazine poses real life questions faced by today's Catholics. The moral life, convert situations, evangelization, living out our theology -- it's all dealt with here. Do you have a situation that you would like to see here? Please write to SCENARIOS with your dilemma. If your scenario is chosen, we will let you know by email. And you'll get free counsel from thousands of Envoy readers! Of course, the names will be changed -- to protect the innocent, you know.
