You’re right.
God bless you, dearest xzins.
I am, however, fascinated that this truthful message by a Catholic Bishop is being framed in terms of a person’s rejection of the Catholic Church.
The problem inevitably is some bugaboo in the minds of people, some chew toy that they just can’t stop gnawing long enough to look at what the message actually is. Our ‘troll’ last night had a similar problem in a different area. He simply couldn’t see past his chew toy...a candidate he wanted to insure was rejected.
The truth here that is said extremely well by this bishop is that we are being subjected to persecution by our government when we allow our faith to invade our lives outside the walls of our church building.
That truth has nothing to do with being Catholic.
But rather than admit the truth of the message, the polarized must insure that the chew toy gets attacked.
