The Catholics tell us about Mary weeping, but Jesus has to be sobbing over where the once glorious gospel went in America. It wasn’t perfect at any time (slavery anybody?) but what’s happened has made most of us slaves to masters that are crueler than plantation owners of old. Masters of sin, masters of compromise.
Well, I for one don’t want to let it slide any further without a hearty fight first.
Comparatively by the time the civil war ended there were enough of the other slaves left to carry on the fight and even at that they died by the millions wwi wwii. The weariness of that made boomers of us “all”.
Except for a few. I missed that bus. Not that I didn’t get a ticket.
I listened when the others had the music too loud to hear the Word.
