Bishop Murphy dedicates his weekly Montana Catholic Register “Reflections” column to emphasize the importance to develop and nurture a strong identity in the Roman Catholic faith tradition. He says, “But there are areas of doctrine and practice where we do not have an option if we are to preserve our identity as Roman Catholics. There is a tension among some members of the Church to change such doctrine, if that were possible, or to alter certain practices. But we are not allowed that luxury within a parish or a Diocese if we are to be faithful to our identity as Roman Catholics.”
