Father Marty Kurylowicz, M.Div., M.S. - Blog
        My hope for this blog is to follow Pope John Paul II and New Ways Ministry format
        of continuing bringing together the interactions of the best in the fields of medical
        and mental health professions, theologians, scriptural scholars, to continue the
        FREE SEARCH FOR TRUTH. It is ignorance that causes the most harm to
        innocent people.
