Wait until you go to church and they sing, “ONWARD A DIVERSE GROUP OF SOLDIERS” Way things are going in this country, nothing would surprise me.

It's already starting to happen. In the Methodist hymnal, "God of Our Fathers" is now "God of the Ages." "Good Christian Men Rejoice" is now "Good Christian Friends Rejoice," and "Eternal Father, Strong to Save," John Dykes' great hymn from 1861 and a perennial favorite of Methodists, is nowhere to be found in the book. Apparently, references to fatherhood are now considered "sexist."

A few years ago at church on Mothers Day there was honor and praise for all the mothers in the congregation. On Fathers Day there was a lecture and prayer for men to be better fathers.

I felt insulted and until that day I hadn't realized how left wing and socialist the Catholic church had become. Now I just sit there listening to see how much leftist crap comes out of the priests mouth. I wonder if that's why attendance has dropped off in the last few years.
