A few weeks ago, I saw a woman who was always at Daily Mass. I was so happy to see her since it’s been a good year since I had seen her at Mass. I told her I missed her, asked where she had been, or if she had gotten a new job or something. She said no, she was just sick and tired of the church’s politics. She said she was upset when they put out the first letter on Obamacare and “now that they’ve gone after the nuns,” she isn’t going to church anymore! I was appalled because I always thought that anyone who went to Daily Mass must have a pretty good grasp on the church’s teachings, but apparently not!
It’s very upsetting when you meet people like that. We have some in our church too; I’ve never figured out how they can reconcile the contradictions.
