Agreed. One of my children attended 16 years of Catholic education. She’s a complete liberal.
I would be so much happier if our Church leadership would just speak firmly and honestly about sin. Let the chips fall where they may and let any Catholics who don’t like it leave. We will be a small, but holier group.
Same with Republicans. We need to speak out clearly and build our case. No parsing. If we never win another election and the people defect. So be it.
Even Jesus let those who couldn’t accept His “hard” teaching about eating His flesh to attain eternal life walk away. He spoke the truth, the hard truth, in clear, concise words; and then He let them leave in droves if they couldn’t accept it.
The Catholic Church, and the Republican party, must do the same. We must be authentic and stop being quite so socially just.
Good post. I appreciate your thoughts. Let the chips fall where they may.
