This post itself might just inform a lot of people who are asking in their prayers.

Some guy might be asking, ‘why is my marriage off?’

This is how it works

Joan of arc is recognized as a very holy woman, a saint. Don’t doubt it. To bring up how she was treated is silly

Go to Rouen if you doubt it

You are missing my point. In Joan of Arc’s time, the informed view among the powers of the church was that she was a heretic, a nut. They were fearful of her and did not object to her being burned. We perhaps have been enlightened over 500 years and now don’t see things that way. It wasn’t that long ago that Catholics directly laid the blame for the crucifixion at the feet of the Jews and shunned and persecuted them. Who was our Pope just visiting and embracing a few weeks ago? Did God will us to have the hatred and rift, or the rapprochement and embrace?

Pope Francis is getting awfully close to blessing gay unions? What is God’s will on this? Our faith and growth in holy spirit is far, far more rich than some ideologue claiming that practicing yoga may separate us from the Holy Trinity. That’s so small and silly that in the big scheme of the challenges we face as a faith, it’s simply a laughable claim.
