Father Clancy Donahue of St. Michael Catholic Church told reporters Wednesday that while he believed in blindly adhering to the dogma and ceremonies of his faith, he tried not to get too bogged down by actual spirituality. 'I'm not so much into having a relationship with God as I am into mechanically conducting various rituals,' Donahue said. 'To me, it just feels empty to contemplate a higher power without blindly obeying canon law and protecting the church as an institution.' Donahue emphasized that although he did not personally agree with those who pondered the eternal, he had nothing against them.
