mainstream media(sic)

The DLEMM - Dominant Liberal Establishment Mass Media - doesn't reflect mainstream thought. It shouldn't be referred to as such.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Probably for the same reason that it's almost never pointed out that Planned Parenthood was established with the goal of exterminating the negro race along with other "undesirables".

Behind every double standard lies an unconfessed single standard.

[Scotswife]

that would be a diocese-wide problem here.

But even our liberal bishop signed that letter of protest.

If he had signed a letter of protest about some obscure military or economic action of our government - you could be sure that would have been a hot topic of discussion.

Now maybe I missed the righteous anger over this power grab - and maybe someone simply hasn’t told me about it.

Or....there isn’t any righteous anger.

Yeah, well, I’m sure it’s best for all that I didn’t learn about it until after the fact.

So many deny this.

I didn’t think the woman character was asinine. Just a faithful practicing Lutheran(LCMS or WELS variety) laywoman following what her church has taught for centuries. Disclaimer: I’m a Presbyterian(PCA) layman who has no problem voting for a faithful Roman Catholic(like Santorum) who shares my views on life, family and religious liberty.

[Salvation]

Thanks for your honest sharing. We have a lot more in common than what we differ on!

**That’s exactly what I’ve been seeing on FB.**

 

First They Came for the Jews

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

~Pastor Martin Niemöller

Community and individuality are not opposites. People cannot survive on their own. When the odds are stacked against you, you must rally with the oppressed and hated.

When a growing oppressive regime is taking hold, you must act, otherwise you will soon face your enemy alone and hopeless.

Strength of community is a strength as much as individualism, as long you are willing to face weaknesses in your own community. Ignoring slacking values will mean that you will be rallied against by those you oppress.

Niemöller affirms we must rally against unhealthy organized regimes. We must also stay vigilant with those that appear to be good natured, as all organisation attracts corruption. Niemöller also warns us that if it is you who are corrupt, then you will face a stronger combined force of foe!

“Catholic social ministry begins and ends with Jesus Christ,” he said. “If it doesn’t, it isn’t Catholic.”

“Blessed are they who are persecuted......”

can't argue with that.
