I am just starting to get over the sermon I heard at mass this evening. I am a cradle Catholic and these POS are not going to drive me out of my church. But ... purely partisan Leftwing Communist political rants are going to dry up my wallet. There are plenty of other worthy charities to absorb my contributions. I know that I am required in good faith to contribute to the support of the Church. Do you think $2.00 per Sunday Mass is enough? Multiplied by a couple hundred congregants, that's about $400 to the Marxist in the pulpit for about an hour's work. I think that's quite adequate, don't you? The balance goes to sweeten the pot for the bums who panhandle me on the streets, a kind of charity that Father Trotsky-Lenin finds annoying. Voting to pick the pockets of unwilling contributors to "social justice" is much more worthy acording to what I hear in Church. As the owner of the vineyard says in the Gospel, "Is this not my money to do with as I please?" I learned in church that the answer is "No." Certainly not for long sucka. We grape pickers are going to vote for an equitable distribution of your purse. As H.L.Mencken wrote,"An election is merely an advance auction of stolen goods." I might add that, after tonight's sermon, I suspect the Sunday collection is too. Please excuse the rant. I feel much better now. The floors of Hell, after all, are paved with the skulls of priests - old Catholic proverb and doubtless good onto Eternity.
We didn’t let them drive us from the church either. We just stood and watched as the church drove themselves away from us and millions of others.
They are politically correct. They have their noses in things that they should not. They should be taking care of their own business and not politics. They can say what they want but they are the same as the politicians in DC and...you are right...it is ALL about money!!!
We know what we do and we know how we pray and other things we won’t go into. But...I’m tired of churches looking like auditoriums and singing songs that are foreign to me and changing how we behave at Mass into ways that look like once again foreign to me. Kids acting up, eating, bringing their toys and playing in the pews, adults dressing inappropriately and some wedding photos we have seen where Bride’s dresses are totally inappropriate to stand before a Priest and Congration in God’s own home. So, anyone can talk until they are blue in the face to us and it won’t matter. We have made peace with within and we know in our hearts the church is not what it is supposed to be and we refused to just “go along” for the sake of going to church. It’s awful and hopefully one day will return to what it should be but...until then??? No way.
