Did you talk to your pastor about it?
He’s responsible for souls, you have to call him on it.
Then the one over him if nothing happens.
It’s for the good of his soul as well as the church and congregation.
And pray, pray, pray.
I’ve spoken with the pastor twice about my concerns.
He gives me PC answers, or denies my claims.
The petitions are getting crazy. “That those who govern will enact laws providing for the common good of all the world’s citizens.” “That our leaders will exercise wisdom in preserving all the natural reasources God has provided.” “That elected officials will ensure proper medical care for all those amoung us.”
Yes, it’s that blatant. What’s most annoying is the “our leaders” “those who govern” “elected officials” preface to each prayer request.
It’s never a request for individuals to be charitable, it’s always a call for the government to enact compulsory redistribution.
I tried making this point, citing that my family is extremely generous but offended by prayers for government-mandated distribution.
Never a petition for our soldiers, the unborn, or even that God guide elected representatives.
The pastor just gave me the “Jesus calls us to provide for all his children” line. Jesus does call us to do so, but I don’t remember Him asking us to get the government involved.
We have people coming to mass with Obama bumper stickers. I told him that’s a good indicator that he has a problem in his parish. He told me he can’t tell people who to vote for.
The pastor’s a very young and ambitious msgr. He is definitely towing the church line, and trying to grow the parish.
