Thank you for that feedback.! At least one member got it right.

My pastor was invited to a wedding several years ago at which he encountered a female Baptist minister standing in the food line before him. He offered her a glass of wine and asked "White or red?". She explained that she was a Baptist and that she did not imbibe. To which he explained the Story of Cana from a catholic perspective, reminding her that Jesus often ate and drank with 'sinners'. He then asked her again what type of wine she would prefer, to which she replied "Red".

God bless this truly holy man! He speaks 8 languages, understands 3 others and reads Koine Greek, Hebrew, Latin and Aramaic. He is as orthodox as they come and totally devoted to the Blessed Mother.

I once visited someone who was telling me about how Catholics have "graven images" in their churches, and he talked about what a good thing it was when mobs had stormed into Catholic churches during the 1500's to smash the "graven images" in order to save us from them. We were standing about 15 feet from a lovely statue he kept in his backyard.

Great story about your pastor.
