OK. I apologize. Biden just has to open his mouth and steam comes out of my ears.
You should have heard what I had to say to my Pastor when he named Biden as a “great Catholic American who has made a difference in our nation” in his 4th of July letter to the parish. Fr. Tom, who is very interested in OUR Stewardship, was shocked when I pointed out that dear ol’ Joe gave an average of $379 per YEAR to charity of all sorts over 10 years. He gave NOTHING to any Catholic church last year. He did give $500 to his Diocese, but NOTHING else. He wife gave to her Presbyterian Church, but not a lot. Most of their donations were in the form of used clothes.
Then I hit him with how many times ol’ Joe has supported (publicly) Roe v. Wade. Scandal!
Father mumbled something about “I was trying to be evenhanded”, because he had also mentioned John Roberts and JFK in his tribute. I just rolled my eyes.
I asked him “Why not Mary Ann Glendon?” and he was quick to say, “I wish I’d thought of her.”
My husband came up behind me and said, jokingly, “If you think it is hard being her Pastor, try being her husband!” Everybody laughed, but Father Tom will be getting a letter from me about every 2 weeks on Founding Fathers and Catholics who SHOULD be honored.
Good for you AFTR!
I just have to brag on the new assistant pastor we just got. OMGosh.....he mentioned abortion and how we are NOT good Catholics if we are not ardently opposed to it. Said “we the faithful” have to evangelize the other Catholics who have fallen. I sat right up and listened to every single word he said. I was so impressed. God bless him. Fr. Brian Carpenter. A hero. I looked for him after mass, but he was out front and I was parked out back. I am so excited to go to mass now.
and btw ANY pastor who holds up an abortion politician as a good example is diluting his faith....when he gets to Heaven he will hear the words “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.” Matt7:23 A pastor has a duty to not lead us astray. Good for you to evangelize your own pastor.
My husband would have given you a standing ovation for that response to your pastor in re Biden! Bravo to you.
