So your point is that my right of free speech infringes your religious right? Seriously?
You would no doubt have some opinion to voice if Franklin Graham spoke to Congress about how we should be running our country.
You would have opinions if the media covered him non-stop.
Not addressing this to anyone in particular, but it seems strange to me that many people’s dander is up because a religious leader is preaching the Gospel in the US.
If a person is Catholic, they know the Holy Eucharist is the source and summit of belief. The Pope, a validly ordained priest, has celebrated the sacrament in front of hundreds of thousands. He has demonstrated the beatitudes by feeding the hungry, visiting the imprisoned, and consoling the sorrowful.
For non-Catholics, the Pope has publicly reminded Americans, through Congress, of the dignity of human life. As stated above, he has demonstrated the Gospel message of feeding the hungry and visiting the imprisoned.
At some point, sinful and imperfect people need to measure these actions. Are they promoting the message of God’s love? Are they demonstrating by example what Jesus calls us to do in the Gospel?
For many who say “yes,” this may herald an impetus to be a more faithful believer in Christ. For the non-believer, it may inspire a positive feeling or example. For those who say “no,” perhaps an examination of expectations in appropriate. Are our expectations realistic?
