Sounds like a good church, then. If it's packing the folks in, whatever they're doing there is working. Congrats!
For him to claim, as he apparently does in his latest shallow and phony book, that his Catholicism is offended. He is fundamentally an anti-religious person. So this is sanctimonious horsesh*t.
Did I miss anything?
Congressman Billybob
Press and Carter are together on this. Should sway about four people nationally.
This guy's probably one of those morons that thinks Jesus was a socialist. What he doesn't get is that there's a big difference between Jesus' teachings (to help others out of the goodness of yourself) and socialism's teachings (government STEALING from the "rich" to give to the poor, without the explicit permission of these so-called "rich").
If there is supposed to be a separation of church and state, why should we institutionalize the Christian idea of charity? Where is this "giving" addressed in the Constitution?
Huh? Last time I checked, it was those Awful Conservatives in the red states and "bible belt" that were by far the most generous givers to charitable organizations.
It's a very nice church, aside from the crowding. I'm sure we'll get a bigger facility some day -- probably after I move!
The poor will always be with us while Jesus is not.
No, the RATS gave us that one. Remember Dean's God and guns comment?
I can’t even walk into church anymore - without first taking a loyalty oath to the Republican party.

Sorry, Bill but it is NOT a loyalty oath to the GOP they want you to take, it is the doctrine of your Church they want you to support.
Once upon a time both political parties agreed that unborn children should not be murdered, what constituted a marriage, etc. Thus political parties were able to compete for voters on other issues.
But one party, your Dims, have decided to run against morality. Sure they try to hide it some, but that is what the Dim party has become. If your party is against the doctrines of your church, then to be consistent you must pick your church or your party. Sounds to me Bill that you might be yet another Republican in the awakening?
Have to wag a finger in shame at Bill for using this headline when he is from the party that is removing the word Christmas from the public eye and the colors red and green from public schools.
I don't understand what Press is complaining about. How can you miss something you never use?
I enjoy it so thoroughly. Dems embrace and espouse anything that pisses all over religion, and then bitch and moan that "Republicans" (rather than just decent people who worship in a church) have taken the religion over. I think I've heard this story before. Something about a boy who murders his parents and pleads that he is an orphan...
So if Bill's parenst had not sent him to a Catholic school and didn't want him to be an alter boy he wouldn't have a leg to stand on?
it's the liberals who have denounced Christianity, I really don't see how one could claim to be a liberal Christian and still look at themselves in the mirror.
"Yet some religious conservatives suggest that I can’t even walk into church anymore - without first taking a loyalty oath to the Republican party."
Name some names and let's have their quotes, Bill.
If he lost his faith in the Democrat party, he'd be losing his religion. Yellow dog democrats die hard.
"So if Bill's parenst had not sent him to a Catholic school and didn't want him to be an alter boy he wouldn't have a leg to stand on?"
He certainly trots out all the earthly symbols to reinforce his own religious "credentials," doesn't he?:
I don't understand why everybody here gets so excited about a loser like Bill Press.Any discerning person writes him of as a fool,and the folks here at Free Republic are the most dicerning poeple I've ever seen anywhere.The guy's a jerk,and he most likely will stay a jerk until the day he dies.
Well it just reminds me of Kerry doing that.
