This part was jaw-dropping for me:

Frank’s father Francis Schaeffer [emphasis added] was credited as a major theological inspiration for the conservative Christian political movement, including the U.S. pro-life movement. While still widely regarded as an Evangelical leader, Frank has joined the Greek Orthodox Church and renounced his former pro-life views.

“Fundamentalist religion of all kinds is the enemy of democracy and thus of America. It is the enemy of working people everywhere too when it’s bogus moral crusades empower the rich to thumb their noses at our government,” he wrote.

I guess even children of saints can become evil by their own willful disobedience.

Then why is he in the Greek Orthodox Church? Last time I heard, Eastern Orthodoxy is prolife and pro-marriage as Jesus defined it in Matthew 19:4-6.

How does that work? I don't know much about the Orthodox church, but I've always assumed that it was pro-life.

By the way, the same U.S. law that forbids forcible occupation of an abortion clinic also forbids disrupting religious services in this matter.

Or, they could be tired of camping outside in the winter, noticed the Church had central heat, a warm/dry interior, and sympathetic management.

Just sayin’.

You can’t have collectivism with individual judgement and consequence standing in the way.

Stopped by the Knights of Columbus. Love it.

Fortunately it is now November and not mid-July.

Frank S. is a very mixed up man. For his father and mother's sake we should pray for him. God is able.

“The source of the empowering of the top 1 percent super wealthy and the economic rape of rest of us is the religion of Evangelical fundamentalism,” he wrote.

But, because THOSE guys are often defensively armed, he chose to riot against Catholics instead.

A new offshoot of the Occupy movement has its own slogan: “Occupy The Vatican.”

A Facebook page, predictably, leads the charge, but locally organizers have promised to occupy the Holy Rosary Cathedral in downtown Vancouver this Sunday at 10 a.m., right in the middle of church services.

“Jail the Pope, Occupy the Vatican, Expel the Catholic church from our lands,” comes the none-too-subtle online call to arms, complete with a Photoshopped image of the pope behind bars. “Join the worldwide Occupy the Vatican movement this Sunday Oct. 30.
