Recently Bp. Scharfenbeger gave a speech to an interfaith group in Albany. At least one Protestant didn’t like what he had to say. From the Times Union of Albany, NY.

LOL what a bunch of idiots. And yes, I'm including Fr Z in that bunch, as he opens with an admission that he has no idea what a UU is, yet says "let true dialogue begin!" Maybe he needs to put down the communion wine long enough to open up some dialogue himself.

You don't know sarcasm when you see it? I expected better of you.

The UUs don't know what they are - you know the old saw, "What do you get when you cross a UU with a Jehovah's Witness?" "Somebody who knocks on your door for no apparent reason."

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

“We pursue power for our separate selves rather than the good and the love of God. Humanity falls into sin by choosing the freedom to get over the freedom to give. Real freedom isn’t the absence of constraints but to choose the constraints that God gives us.”

I find that so fascinatingly true!

I hope more folks were not offended by this.

I wish the UU’s were not so slammed on this thread. Folks, can’t you just thank God you believe as you do in yyour path to the full awareness of God and be happy for them in their path to full awareness of God?

I would be the bishop just thought he was speaking (pun not intended) universally, albiet catholicly, in restating JPII’s basic truth.
