Where was the bishop? Out to lunch?
"Heather Siewart said she came to support the Ushers of the Eucharist, even though she's Protestant."
Interesting factoid. I believe that faithful Protestants and Catholics will be coming together more and more to oppose the anti-Christians.
The health of the Catholic Church has a major effect on everyone living in our country, including Protestants and Jews. And in turn the health of Protestant and Jewish groups also effects everybody. America has always depended on the religious faith and morality of its citizens to make it a place where people can be free, as de Toqueville noted long ago.
Well, they'd better, and they should start by refusing to vote for candidates who openly defy Christian (scriptural) teaching.
I agree with you here, and have seen it happening.
I married into a family of believers who were Christian Protestant, and I was and am a Catholic believer.
Events of the past 20 years (been married 18) have made it clear to us all that the 'right wings' of all Christian churches (The Church) are indeed becoming united.
As are the left wings of the various sects claiming to be christian.
I see it happening.
I am in total agreement with you. Everyone who adheres to the existence of God and His moral absolutes needs to adhere together. Now is not the time to be finicking over theological differences, as important as they may be to individuals. While some religious people are inclined to argue over theology or sacraments or interpretations of scripture, or church/temple/synagogue traditions, the hedonists/feminists/homosexualists/atheists are trying to destroy civilization.
I suggest all those who are faithful to God - whatever Name we call Him, whichever day we held sacred for His worship, whichever kind of house we worship Him in (or even no house) - we see ourselves as true brothers and sisters, respect our differing theological viewpoints, and turn our attention on those who are VERY ACTIVELY trying to destroy the natural family and moral absolutes. And, I may add, they have done a great job so far.

You would be correct. All of Gods children step forward on his behalf. He did it before he'll do it again.
