' "Father" knows best and we know little if anything'.......  Are we not sacramentally confirmed adults in our parishes, at least most of us who are not going through RCIA now?  As sacramentally confirmed adults, marked with a seal of anointment, does this not mean that the Holy Spirit operates within us? Almost every parish I have been to in several states of the USA makes reference to "Time, Treasure and Talents" when communicating to parishioners about stewardship work.  Does this not imply that all of us have these three elements that should be contributed to our parish? Should any of these three elements be prohibited? If so, when and how?
