I'm 65 yo and can tell you scandals like we have now would not have worked in the past. No one expected POTUS to walk on water, but rape? Hundreds of mistresses? Lies and treason? Selling access to government?
I know we had the Tea Pot Dome and Alger Hiss and other things, but the majority of the country thought these were bad things and needed to be prosecuted. NOTHING seems bad enough to disqualify Clinton, but talking dirty will get you sexual assault charges. I'm still so angry about the IRS going after the Tea Party I shake just thinking about it. Nixon was impeached partly for his enemies list and his use of the government for it.
If a homosexual comes to church, he/she is looking for something they can't find on their own. We need to accept them, but explain to them their sin, just like the ones I had forgiven, cannot be tolerated in the Kingdom of God.
The church at Corinth had sin in their midst and Paul told them how to handle it. I've been told Trump has recently been born again. I don't expect him to be perfect overnight. Sanctification takes a lifetime.
Why are you speaking of a different subject matter? Who said Mary? You did, over and over. Address what I said, not what would be convenient for me to have said.
Sometimes “ex Catholics” can be so “righteous” about it that they don’t see anything except “Catholic bad.”
Yeah, I know, they threw the words around in cussing, but to corner someone and demand they reject God would force a man to remember his mama's love and attempts at making him a good boy ... and he'd acquiesced.
I think you mean he’d refuse.
Reversing this will need evangelism. Evangelism isn’t based on how wonderful we are, but on how wonderful God is in the face of our utter lousiness.
And yes ... they successfully evangelized for THEIR father, the devil for so many years, the knowledge of OUR FATHER was forgotten.
My opinion as well.
Why can’t everyone think as agreeably as we two?!

It’s an opposite message: “Look how marvelous we are, if we only knew it.”
Romney was the lesson we learned the hard way
Let me clarify, I’m not knocking your faith nor your dedication. I’m bringing out my opinion that the pro-life movement would be more effective without so much religious imagery.
It might help if you could even keep your story straight.
Hi-Tech,
Do you remember our conversation on this post about how I believed that Catholics should take some of the religious imagery and ideology out of the pro-life movement?
I heard something about a friend yesterday and thought of you and our conversation.
My friend is an evangelical who is deeply involved in pro-life causes. By deep, I mean really deep.
She saw an opportunity and a need in our area for a Women’s Care center (crisis pregnancy) She spent countless thousands of hours researching, speaking, raising funds, building a coalition, training, working with others, finding a facility, getting the facility built (across the street from a very busy abortion mill BTW), raising volunteers, hiring professional counselors and sonogram technicians etc. She did this all as a volunteer and when they opened, was the director, again as a volunteer. She worked closely with the local archdiocese on this.
Not long after they opened the center, she was fired for the sole reason that she was not catholic.
Her replacement is salaried and from what she said, well compensated from the money she raised for the use of the center.
And you wonder why more evangelicals aren’t involved in formal pro-life things.
