Bishop Tobin turns the tables

I’ve seen role reversals before, but this was extreme. Though maybe not as extreme as it might seem at first glance.
. . .
Bishop Thomas Tobin, whom I have interviewed several times, including a long session in his office, came over to The Journal the other day to interview me.

Yes, we see things through different prisms.
. . .
The bishop aggressively articulates Catholic doctrine. I part company with the church, certainly on abortion, physician-assisted suicide, stem-cell research and gay marriage.

Of course, I’m not Catholic. I’m Jewish, and Bishop Tobin wanted to talk about the role faith plays in my writing.
