A syndicated scribe offers a glimpse at the dysfunctional American discourse with a local connection:
When ‘cancel culture’ comes for the Church
Money line . . .
"A group of 20,000 people to sign a petition calling for Archbishop Naumann’s removal. The group, calling itself “Faithful America,” accuses the archbishop of focusing on a “single issue” in his “attacks” on Biden, while summarily ignoring, the group claims, the “anti-life” policies of the Trump administration.
"Nothing could be further from the truth. Just seven months ago, Archbishop Naumann passionately criticized Trump for his administration’s resumption of federal executions — despite the fact that his own father’s throat was slit during a violent crime in 1948 . . . Yet, because he is a faithful shepherd, the archbishop’s obligation to God gave him a sacred duty to speak out against those on both sides of the aisle. And he has."
You decide . . .
if republicans want corporations to stay out of politics, they should also say the same thing to the churches.
ReplyDeleteChurches tend to lean heavily on moral leadership. They are not perfect so don't get your panties in a wad. But the truth is that we as a society are falling away from religious leadership that we desperately need as a compass to the depraved society we are becoming. The prevalence of drugs, sex and other immoral behavior is not a good thing. If you are a parent you need to bring the moral teaching of a church into the kids lives and hopefully save a generation from degradation.
ReplyDeleteWhen are black fathers going to start being husbands instead of AWOL? A child without a father or father-like figure active in his/her life is many times more likely to end up in prison. This is the kind of thing that churches should be involved in promoting. But can you see Coca-Cola or Delta promoting this?
ReplyDeleteThe Libtards have been boycotting many conservative companies like Chick-fil-A for years. Conservatives can play that game as well. Good luck boycotting a church and having any effect.
ReplyDeleteIt's a private club with private club rules, free to see the world as they wish. If they want to talk morales with rational people, however, they're going to have to answer for being a group who have done everything in their power to cover for harboring depraved pedophiles who have abused THOUSANDS of innocent children. It's all about money with them, which is the exact opposite of what their own sacred text prescribes. It kinda makes is hard to take their beliefs seriously when their own actions demonstrate they don't really believe them themselves.
ReplyDeleteThe children as adults continue to be tortured and abused. One doesn't forget about being raped and molested
ReplyDeleteReligion is about money and power, and rarely much more. Control people's thoughts and actions through guilt and fear, and make sure they pay you for that priviledge.
ReplyDeleteSo a bunch of low-life liberal scum sign a petition.
ReplyDeleteThey want to continue killing babies and they want to you to like it.
Finn's a perfect example. A bishop will not be removed until the collection plates start drying up. Then the Vatican will do something. Signing petitions doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteAs you can easily see the people that want to rant and rave about the very few, in fact, that have done wrong to others are no more or less the same percentages as non-religious that do the same or worse terrible things. But they fail to acknowledge that just to bash a whole community of people that lead good moral lives as members of a religion, any religion. My original comment is that if we continue to move away from societies (religions) that preach the removal of immorality then the situation for the future just gets worse. The proof is heard from several posts above.
ReplyDelete"...no more or less the same percentages as non-religious that do the same or worse terrible things."... True, but the non-religious dont claim moral superiority in this regard, the religious organizations do.
Delete"...as members of a religion, any religion."... Nope, that's not how they work, including Catholics. Almost all religions claim EXCLUSIVE access to truth, and condemn all who don't believe in their narrow interpretation. It's quite sad, actually. There are over 3,000 distinct religions in the world, and most adherants of all of them think they somehow won the lottery and picked the "right" one. It's faith, so you can't prove (or even logically rationaluze) that yours is the right one. Seriously, who bets that in a "pick a number between 1 and 3,000" game that they are going to win.
Kamala Harris protected pedophile priests in california when she was working for the state. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/victims-question-kamala-harris-record-clergy-abuse-63963167
ReplyDelete"...Harris was consistently silent on the Catholic Church's abuse scandal — first as district attorney in San Francisco and later as California's attorney general. ...
she withheld documents regarding clergy sexual abuse from attorneys and news reporters...
abuse survivors in civil cases asked her office to release church records on abusive priests that had been gathered by her predecessor, Terence Hallinan.
Harris refused."
Her immediate successor immediately fixed this racketeering she was conducting.
This is why the least popular Dem candidate for president was selected. She protects pedophiles. She even called Biden a racist sexual abuser but is willing to stand next to him and connect their legacies.
The despicable dimwits hate hate hate religion and it’s followers, not surprised they would pull a dirty trick like this. I’m betting none of those people that signed the petition are Catholic, they’re all satan worshippers of the dimwit party.
ReplyDeleteThere are actually over 4,000 religions in the world, most claiming exclusive access to truth and condeming those who don't agree.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of a number between 1 and 4,000. Guess right and you enjoy a paradise in the afterlife, guess wrong and you are condemned to an eternity of punishment. Remember, you can't prove any of it because your choice must be based upon faith, there is no evidence. Who in their right mind would sign up to play this game.
The picture of the top satan worshipper joe bidumb is fitting, we all know his racist prison sentences and execution history against blacks. By the way, did you all notice some of his 70 plus executive orders he signed took back Trumps corrections of the harsh punishments against blacks that bidumb himself demanded and he put back in place the harsh and brutal policies and long prison sentences he made back in the nineties?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
Nobody hates religion; there, there little chucklowe. They only hate how stupid it makes its adherents.
ReplyDeleteLike you, kinda. But you're worse.
Perhaps David Niven could solve this problem.
ReplyDeleteHis old black and white movie The Bishop? Never figured out why he wasn't screwing Loretta Young night and day instead of worrying about his congregation? What a babe.

Why can’t we get this many signatures to recall Mayor McDrinkerson? What a fucked up world.

ReplyDeleteDemocrat Party led by Biden and Obama have gone full-bore Communist.
The Democrat Party hates God, Jesus, Christians, families, and morality.
The Democrat Party worships one powerful central government and atheism.
The Democrat Party worships homosexuality, abortion, transgenderism and other depravities.
Democrats will be going to hell with their idols Josef Stalin, Mao, Trotsky, Lenin and Castro.
^^^^The 1950s called. They want you back.
ReplyDelete@11:07 - Josef Stalin called. He wants you as a roommate in hell.
ReplyDelete^^^^Sorry. Rush Limbaugh, who, by the way, is still dead, filled that slot a while ago. Keep up with the times, gramps.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone can show through empiracle evidence why their particular religion, out of the 4000 possibilities, is the right one I'll see you next Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThat's why the "faith" con is brilliant, you convince the sheep that the search for evidence is in and of itself wrong.
My Church of The Backyard God is The One True Church. Please attend next Sunday and be generous. The Church needs mowing and trimming.
ReplyDeleteBilly Tammeus and Joel Osteen have converted, and will be dunked on the Holyu Horse Trough before services.

ReplyDeleteThe dem woke narrative will die without censorship.
ReplyDeleteThe incompetent, lying, demented Dim leader won’t see another year. He’s heading for a permanent “lid”, then he’s got a lot of explaining to do. By the way 10:04 your full of shit. Obviously, another libtard ignoramus who believes in God knows what.

No one needs to show you anything. Most of us look at people, like you, and laugh.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^ @ 3:08 I just look at you and your posts and shake my head and say do you realize what a misfit to society you are?
ReplyDeleteJack Chick is alive and well and positing at 1:02.
ReplyDeleteThere are only 2 religions : the many false ones, and the true religion.
ReplyDeleteThe way to hell is broad, but it appears to be a path to heaven.
Only 1 person has risen from the dead. That should be a hint where people need to start looking...for God
