We used to attend Sunday Mass as a family at Don Bosco, Makati, which also meant confession under the late, stern, sensible Fr. Adolf Faroni, SDB. Every confession could be both a retreat and a sermon. Father Faroni did his research, used theology, minced no words. He told me once, 'There is no space for fundamentalism in the Catholic faith.' I was surprised. I thought all Catholics were fundamentalists at heart: loud preaching, scrambling over crowds to touch an image, self-flagellation, walking on knees.
