How is fancy Nancy related to this story?
My guess is that could be said for a number of stories, should we recycle them too?
No it doesn't, but recycled stories do.
“Rev. Wesley Wade, vicar general of the Diocese of Bathurst, said Gionet’s teachings don’t meet the diocese’s goal of following Christ’s example of loving unconditionally.”
Poppycock. The Bishop should be replaced and the priest reinstated. Unconditional love does not mean unconditional acceptance of acts and practices. It means unconditional acceptance of people despite them.
Perhaps the Bishop has been mau-maued into forgetting the bit about loving the sinner while hating the sin. I know it’s mocked in trendy circles, even among churchmen.
If the law prohibits the priest’s freedom to speak his mind from the pulpit, then he can choose to be jailed for what he believes, and challenge the law by his example. Since he, unlike the Bishop, strikes me as a brave man, he might choose to live out his final days in glorious defiance of political correctness.
A priest is punished for upholding the tenets of Catichism and Pelosi is not for violating one of the main tenets.
delenda est...
To paraphrase Harry Truman; "Give me a one handed Protestant"!
On one hand we hear endlessly from the Protestant posters about what an abomination and blemish on Christianity the Inquisitions were and then on the other hand we hear them clamor endlessly about the need to institute an new Inquisition to determine the appropriate level of Catholicness of sinners.
Old news? Posted 5 days ago is “old”? Often multiple articles are posted about the same incident, they often give more background, details, etc.
Five days is old??
“My guess is that could be said for a number of stories, should we recycle them too?”
Wake up pal, it happens here all the time.
It’s beginning to appear that your problem is more with the story than the fact it’s a repeat.
I'll keep that in mind.
As far as the story goes, the existence and knowledge of bad Bishops is a wee bit older than you, me and even the interweb.
A. I didn’t post the story, so I didn’t have to worry about doing a search.
B. The story was not the exact same article; therefore search wouldn’t have done any good.
C. Every day, FR has articles about the same event/topic, from varied sources, some shedding more light with more details, background etc.
D. What are you really upset about?
Christ loved them enough to tell them openly and clearly that they were doing wrong.
Ping for tomorrow.
If Christ loves unconditionally, no one would go to hell. But we are told in no uncertain terms that the vast majority of humanity will be assigned there.
I don't see how our rejection of God's love is evidence that he actually doesn't love us. Hell, in my opinion, proves that it is our love that is conditional, not God's.
Never impied that you were the poster, not sure what your point is by making a false claim.

See "B"
D. What are you really upset about?
Nothingt, just pointing out the obvious.
Ping tomorrow then!
