You’re lucky, actually. Our priest won’t mention it at all. Old Father Fran retired at 91 years old back in Octber, and now we have a new priest, Father Charles, a young, spry 72 year old.
Father Fran was a dyed-in-the-wool conservative, he even had a picture of George W Bush in the rectory, and spoke his mind about issues. Farther Charles, now, he won’t. Do note that this part of Alabama I live in is overwhelmingly conservative. Even the few democrats (mostly black) left are conservative.
But Father Charles only mentions that there are masses, etc for “Religious Freedom”. He never defines who is taking religious freedom away... Well, he did mention it as an overseas thing, but never mentions THIS country in that regards.
Too much of the church has fallen for Social Justice which is another way of saying communism. It really goes against Christianity since the Word says we are to care for our brothers not the gummit.
Unfortunately the Church doesn’t take a stand against it for fear of losing their Dems.
Pray for America
Father Sam, my nemesis of the hurt feelings, gives astounding lectures from the pulpit, almost a Brother Love type of thing, pounding the wood and mentioning the attack on our faith by “this administration”...he does not mince words. I state this as he is a priest I most admire for his refusal to be cowed. Once HE actually walked out on a mass, along with a bunch of others....I only heard about it but it was reported on the radio. He was mad at the boobs walking out and decided to show his anger.
Father Sam is no wallflower is what I’m saying here.
In fact, after going to a mass that had our other priest presiding, and hearing no mighty rhetoric as from Father Sam, I wrote him an email asking what happened.
Father Sam wrote me back and suggested that I ask the other priest my question as we all know his own self, in Brother Love fashion, didn’t back off the issue.
Heh.
Well I just dunno but it was kind of neat to have all those acquaintances from the Republican party and my co-parishioners at the same place. It’s how I got put on something called the Salt and Light committee to help with voter registration.
And hey, everybody knew me and I will be so shallow as to say it was kind of nice.
But I didn’t plan it.
