Cardinal McCarrick spoke of public servants as "workers in the Vineyard."

Y'know, this is kind of odd, given the Gospel for today.

The workers in the vineyard stole the crop, wounded, stoned and killed the owner's servants, and then murdered his son. "And what should be done to these servants?" Jesus asked the Pharisees. "These shameful men should be put to death shamefully," they replied. And Jesus said he would take the Kingdom away from those who had abused it and give it to another.

Not so strange if you realize that the "son" was Christ and the "workers" were the Pharisees and the government officials of the time.

**And Jesus said he would take the Kingdom away from those who had abused it and give it to another.**

I truly believe that anyone who has supported abortion in any form whatsoever will not enter the kingdom of heaven unless they repent, repent, repent, repent, repent, -- You get the picture.

Now, I'm off to say the one Rosary for the unborn I promised to say today.
