Now, God absolutely can take care of Himself - however, has it ever occurred to you that our response to this man might be the Spirit using us to defend Him?

That is exactly how Muslims feel. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written:

"It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good".

People are trying to get Myers fired. What would Jesus do?

"That is exactly how Muslims feel." Okay - so is it your position that God cannot work through humans today? And I am not looking for revenge - most Catholic I think feel poorly for this man, and are trying to prevent him from committing a grave sin. The fact that we're vocal about it is a form of tough love - I pray the scales fall away from this man's eyes, but, until that time, I'm going to fight with him to prevent him from desecrating the Lord's Body.

What would Jesus do? Jesus would command him to sin no more - not to sin by desecrating His Body, and not to sin by antagonizing his Catholic neighbors.
