my dad told me there was a confrontation at his Catholic Church yesterday between Pro and Anti Prop 8 people in the parking lot.
Good, for too long, “nice” people like Christians avoid discussion because it’s not polite, “too controversial.” But it’s a thin veneer to raging undercurrents in Catholic and Christian churches: the “progressive” pro-abort, pro-gay, anti-family segment, and the people living the true meaning of the Gospel.
If they are screaming at each other in parking lots after Mass, this is a step in the right direction, toward open, public debate, toward forcing priests and ministers to clarify values and moral theology, toward eventual legal battles and changes. For too long it’s only been the Rev. Wrights and Father Phleger’s who have been screaming and thereby influencing. Time for the pro-life side to start reacting and getting our points across, and “in your face” if the other side starts it.
