Someone who's asking questions of the clergy, that he doesn't have the answers to, I think that's a universal predicament.
Being human means asking the questions of one's own being and living under the impact of the answers given to this question. And, conversely, being human means receiving answers to the questions of one's own being and asking questions under the impact of the answers.
The answers I remember longest are the ones that answer questions that I didn't think of asking.
We are closer to God when we are asking questions than when we think we have the answers.

By the time the people asking the questions are ready for the answers, the people doing the work have lost track of the questions.
I'm always asking questions - not to find 'answers,' but to see where the questions lead. Dead ends sometimes? That's fine. New directions? Interesting. Great insights? Over-ambitious. A glimpse here and there? Perfect.
As human beings, don't we need questions without answers as well as questions with answers, questions that we might someday answer and questions that we can never answer?
