There is no irony or sarcasm in this statement.
My bishop, who was also my physician, was the kindest, most empathic and understanding man I have ever known.
As my doctor he got me through an anxiety disorder, broken bones, pneumonia, and a lot more. He had delivered 5000 babies, when GPs
did this and awards from the local medical association.
When I was growing up with many issues with the church, this saintly man caused me great confusion. I have never known anyone like him.
I finally came to the conclusion that he would have been a saint if he were Muslim, Catholic, Buddhist or atheist.
Has anyone else had this experience?
