I listened to that Cardinal and got some thoughts .
First I am none too happy about this Pope. Cardinal Wuerl waxed on and on about Pope Francis, how wonderful he is, how he lives poorly, how the people identify with him.
It’s like something out of Walt Disney, give me a break. Christians are being beheaded and murdered all over the world. Of course Wuerl said this should not be.
What would be better is for the Pope to stop cancelling his own newspapers and get out there and make a public stand against such brutality.
Some unknown Cardinal on Fox News Sunday is NOT the ticket.
So Bobby Jindal on Meet the Depressed. Seems Louisiana is wanting to pass a law that will allow a business owner to refuse service if such service is at odds with their religious beliefs.
Evidently somebody in Louisiana is trying to pass such a law but Jindal waltzed around it....says let him wait and see.
I suppose my thoughts on this might not be popular in the Conservative community but I seriously wonder if this is a battle we want to fight.
I lived through the Civil Rights movement of the mid-60’s. Back then it was fine for a business to not serve someone, say in a restaurant, if they are black.
So the Civil rights act made such discrimination illegal, as well it should have as we know now some almost fifty years later.
Why on earth would somebody object to arranging flowers, or catering, or photographing....a same sex wedding?
PLEASE! this is a Devil’s Advocate question. I would not want to have anything to do with a same sex wedding I’m thinking. But if I owned a business that would make money on same....I really don’t think God would get mad at me if I provided a service.
I also think a decent argument could be made that if America was ready to ban denial of service based on race they should do the same based on sexual preference.
I don’t think passing laws to allow denial of service based on sexual preference is a good idea for the Republican party to go diving in to. My guess it’s probably very few businesses that turn down paying customers for such rigid beliefs.
In other words, I am conflicted.
Pope Condemns Indifference To Jihadist Atrocities Against Christians [Obama Indifference!]
Still, I agree he could do more, but the media yawns at Pope comments that don't support the Left Wing agenda they promote.
