Explain how it's not true. You're attacking the priest for calling the parents on their hypocrisy. If you're insulted, that's a shame. A lot of people are "insulted" by things they don't want to hear. These parents were "insulted" to be told they were living a lie and that their children, by extension of their actions, suffer for their sins.
If you saw the importance of living a Catholic life in essence and not just appearance, you would understand Jesus' blistering attacks on the Pharisees.
"Gee, I wish someone in the church had the guts to tell their parents to take their religion seriously and be role models for their children"?
It has everything to do with his "ham handed" approach. Jesus was pretty ham-handed kicking over the booths of bunch of innocent moneychangers who suffered because the Pharisees stupidly let them turn the Temple into a "den of thieves". They were only there because the Pharisees invited them to be there. They (the moneychangers) probably had great enmity for Christ because of this when He could have converted them instead, no?
Was Christ wrong for pointing out hypocrisy like the priest is wrong?
No I didn't. I criticized his method. I didn't attack him.
Next, you told me what I worry about. That is something you made up. You have no way of knowing. That's how it's not true. That is the insult, not your opinions about things you THINK I might not want to hear. Please withdraw it.
Next, neither you, nor the Pastor, knows if all these people are hypocrites, much less not attending Mass. His method of finding out was flawed and arrogant. His approach to fixing the problem was ill-thought out and addresses the wrong people.
If you saw the importance of living a Catholic life in essence and not just appearance, you would understand Jesus' blistering attacks on the Pharisees.
I understand plenty. And your example in not analogous. And your idea of living a "Catholic" life, is not one I necessarily share. Although I don't think it's harmful and probably beneficial to some. I prefer to focus on the Christian life.
Was Christ wrong for pointing out hypocrisy like the priest is wrong?
I never said the priest was wrong for pointing out hypocricy. You made that up.
Now tell me about how Jesus taught to turn the children away because of the parents' unfaithfulness.
He SPECIFICALLY told others to allow the children to come to him and not interfere. Pray about that.
And please stop making things up about me. You want to know something? Ask. It's simple,,,and Christian.
