“Would that start up the Crusades again?”
A crusade? No. An angry response by a number of Catholics? Probably.
I understand your frustration and it is justified but I work with some great teens here in SoCal. I’m talking about the ones that come back and volunteer to help after confirmation. Help with leading small groups, prayer sessions and anything else that is needed. They have a strong spirit and are not afraid to express their faith in public. They still need and want help in how to communicate their beliefs to the world. There is fight and steel in them (I am ex military). I have hope and will continue to support them. God bless
