With the sparkle of an Irish twinkle, Cincinnati's next Archbishop told 바카라게임 Wednesday he intends to find common ground with the vexing issues of the day.As the son of an Irish meat cutter and a Michigan nurse, the Most Reverend Robert Casey possesses what seems to be built-in determination and a glass half-full outlook.He did not grow up with the idea of becoming a priest."It wasn't until I was sixteen, seventeen years old," he explained in an interview on the eve of his installation as Cincinnati's tenth Archbishop.Casey spoke in the basement of St. Peter in Chains Cathedral where two Cardinals, 30 bishops, 250 priests and 1,000 guests will witness the ceremony.His parents and family were supportive, he said. Casey's father died three months ago."I came across a letter that I wrote to them in October of 1984. So, my senior year of high school. I had been on a retreat and I had written to them saying I'm thinking about being a priest. I had never expressed that thought before. I'd never really thought about it. They didn't push me, they didn't pull me away. They simply said do what God is calling you to do. And if it brings you joy in life, then you know you're doing the right thing," Casey said.Casey seeks common ground at a time when it's not so common.Many traditional Catholics dislike the progressive tendencies of Pope Francis.There's fear of deportation and family separation in immigrant communities.Casey said his intent is to not add to the fear, but to be the voice of calm."We have to be able to see the dignity in one another," he said. "When we tend to criminalize or dehumanize parts of our society, that's worrisome for me."When it comes to gender, the church aligns with current government policy of recognizing only two.At the start of the week next to the Cathedral, the transgender flag was raised at the front of City Hall.Casey said he wants to dialogue and build relationships with those who hold different beliefs and cultural practices."There's a richness that comes through the ability to sit down with one another and just get to know each other," Casey said.The word Catholic means universal.Casey pointed to the shared experience of communion at mass as an indication of the type of Archbishop he intends to be."I'm simply not invited to shepherd one part of the flock," he said. "I've been instructed with the flock."Across the nation and in Europe, the Catholic Church has been adjusting to a new Apostolic age.With fewer priests, declining mass attendance and an absence of young people, Casey believes it's important to reflect the present moment."People will talk today about people leaving the church," he said. "The question I have is did they ever belong to the church? So often when we talk to our younger Catholics, forty and younger, we discover that they never truly felt truly welcome or at home. And so, it's less a work of bringing people back to the church and more of the work of bringing people into the church."Casey will mark his 31st year as a priest next month.He was ordained by Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, who was the Archbishop here in Cincinnati from 1972 to 1982.Casey calms his own waters by running distance.He's not ready for the Flying Pig next month, but is aiming for October and a marathon in Dublin where his sister lives.I asked when in the name of all that's holy does an Archbishop find the time to train for a marathon."That's the question", he said with an Irish laugh. "That has yet to be determined."
