As someone who wasn’t born or raised in the United States, I want to say something to my Catholic brothers and sisters in America—for what it’s worth (and it might not be worth much): don’t apologize for your influence on the universal Church.

I have enjoyed Comer’s “Practicing the Way” disciplines. What I have found with him is that, like many modern day Preachers, he does in fact seemingly stay in a comfortable place theologically, as far as how the world views us.
