JOnes was methodist minister. There was a lot of work done by the Methodists then and now. And admiring MLK does not make one a radical.

Alinsky is a different kettle of fish.

But the Methodists are always getting involved in social issues like racism.

Don’t “underestimate” Jones. He was from that cadre of priests of his era and ilk that thought more about far-left liberal issues than they thought Christianity in particular or even religion in general.

There was a time that the turned collar gave them the standing in the community they needed to bring their far-left issues into the mainstream.

The Berrigans were classic examples of this. Once the Vietnam was was over, one of them left the church and married a nun!

Some have even speculated that the very handsome, dynamic and charismatic Rev. Jones was Hillary’s first love.

Whether is was simply a schoolgirl crush or something more serious, perhaps even physical, we will never know, and I certainly do not “j’accuse” here. But of course, the idea of a priest having a relationship with a young parishioner is nothing new.

This is seven years old, but very worth reading.
