“I am very much looking forward to being a parish priest.” — David Hope Quote

I am very much looking forward to being a parish priest.

The question of whether women should be made bishops once they had been ordained is absolutely pivotal. It seems to me absolute nonsense for women to be ordained to the priesthood but not to the episcopacy because the two are inextricably linked.

I am deeply aware of the pain caused to any victim of child abuse, especially at the hands of a trustworthy person within the church. I do encourage any person who believes they have been a victim of abuse to come forward and to inform the police.

I have always hoped that it might be possible to conclude my ministry as I had begun it, as a parish priest, and this I believe to be the call of God.

And, you know, like I said, I'm not looking forward to a trial.

I'm always looking forward and trying to improve.

It's an honor to put on the Habs uniform and hopefully have the opportunity to play here a lot longer now. Now I can just focus on the goal of winning a Stanley Cup and I don't have to worry about re-signing every other year, so I'm looking forward to working towards our goal.

We are excited about the music, past and present and future, and are really looking forward to playing.

I find looking forward scary because you might die.
