“It was a prayer. It was simply a prayer.”

A prayer by an unsaved /lost man to a false god..

[RnMomof7]

This is the fruit of prayers to saints and Mary.. utter spiritual confusion leading to spiritual death

[I still care]

What a crazy world. None of the victims were of that religion, so that’s the one they use? Prayers to spirits and “directions”?

The libs are so utterly lost, they are unable to see how crazy the things they do are.

If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.

That a supposed clergy member doesn’t recognize the spiritual implications of prayer to anyone or any thing but God does not speak well for the education he got in seminary.

I wonder if he ended with “And may the Force be with you”.

[pallis]

Had any of the victims been members of my family, I would have asked that the memorial service publicly exclude them. Liberals are sure to make a disgrace out of everything they touch.

[one Lord one faith one baptism]

evidence of the falling away, i am amazed at the speed in which it is happening!

[choctaw man]

“The blessing was presented by Dr. Carlos Gonzales, an associate professor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine.”

OMG...an associate professor in the college of medicine...???

[Happy Rain]

Prayer?

Overlong,boring,vain,pagan,irrelevant and disrespectful,

The Beautiful Side of Evil by Johanna Michaelsen

A phenomenal read. It will change the way you think about spiritual matters. I need to get the book myself to own. I read it when I borrowed it from someone.

It is absolutely impossible to mix spiritism and Christianity.

A Yaqui. How trendy. They have a very strange syncretic form of "Catholicism" including the ritual use of drugs and some exotic Easter rituals.

Anybody know if there were any Indians killed last Saturday?

[sanjoaquinvalley]

feminine masculine energy? It sounds like that is as much new age stuff as native.I suspect a good dollop of it he made up on the spot.College professor - new age ritual, peas in a pod.Does he have a skull in his back yard?

Gonzales then gave honor to the various directions of the compass: “Let’s begin by honoring the eastern door, from where we get visions and guidance. May each of us get the vision and guidance to proceed in a good way,” Gonzales prayed. He also asked for strength from “Father Sky,” which he called the “masculine energy,” and “Mother Earth,” the “feminine energy.” “O Creator, may the two energies, the masculine energy and the feminine energy, come together in our center where the Creator exists. For each of us has a piece of the Creator. Please, you have given each of us a gift. May we use these gifts to help our fellow human beings,” he prayed.

For anyone who read the Left Behind series, this could have been pulled right out of it.

The Catholic church is in bigger trouble than it realizes with parishioners like this.

[Mobilemitter]

Wonder why they didn’t have Captain Lone Starr from Spaceballs share some cosmic insight?

You better run and tell the author of the next prayer thread that he’s killing everyone’s souls.

Be sure to tell everyone that asking for prayers is “utter spiritual confusion leading to spiritual death”.

Let us know how you get on.

[SZonian]

I was curious about this. I have seen non-denom or even split prayers [offered by different clergy] offered in situations like this when those being remembered were of different faiths.

[naturalized]

This makes me want to puke.

[RnMomof7]

I had a hard time believing that this man is actually a professor of medicine and a sort of medicine man as well.

When mens eyes are not on Christ, but wander in other directions..they become apostate .

Thus he danger of all the “veneration “ in this guys religious history . It is not hard to move from saints to the 4 winds or what ever

A ‘Catholic parishioner’ especially selected by Obama to pray at an event organised by the hard left was never going to be anything but a CINO.

It’s like being shocked by Nancy Pelosi - don’t be. She’s a nominal Catholic, and so’s this guy.

[JimSEA]

I worked with Pasqua Yaquis at San Manuel mine. They were Catholic. This guy was playing “Ward Churchill” to the Progressive Gringos.
