About the Book

This volume continues with the daily journals of Father Cam Walker begun in Volume I. It records his daily routine, the issues and the challenges of a newly-ordained formerly-married Catholic priest. In his first parish assignment, he struggles with reconciling Christ’s teachings to love, to forgive and not to judge with the discriminatory teachings of the Catholic Church regarding women, women priests, married priests, divorce, birth control, abortion, doctor assisted dying and LGBTQS+ men and women. His protestant colleagues challenge him too.

He still thinks with sadness of his wife Wendy who died of ALS. Why did God take her when she was such a kind and caring professional marriage counselor? What was he supposed to learn from the loss of her? He still remembers with grave regret his alcoholic period after she died and grateful to the Benedictine treatment center that saved his life. He worries that he has not heard any reaction to the article that Ed Malone wrote about Bishop Ben and him for the Toronto Tribune. Is no news in this situation good news?
