I remember once attending a retreat in Rome. It was meant for “Catholic professionals” but as the participants gathered around the room — a group of Vatican employees, Catholic journalists, and employees at Catholic NGO’s — one person remarked, “It looks like this is more aimed at professional Catholics.”
We all had a chuckle.
Still, it is worth considering: Does the Church spend too much time fiddling about with “professional Catholic” concerns?
