lower court ruling requiring him to state the government’s preferred narrative about the lockdowns every time he made public remarks.

I have not read the rest of the article, but I will. However, this first line has set my hackles. I am not one of the Freepers who is always talking about not complying, I just do what I can in as Christian a manner as I can.

But in the pulpit, there is no other voice but the Holy Scripture and the Holy Spirit. As a preacher, I would burn and still not comply with that ungodly, vile edict from so called government officials. Any pastor who would accede to that edict should be abandoned by his/her flock and shunned by man and God.

The persecution of Christians is what is being pushed by Globalists everywhere.

This fits with Pope Francis fitting most closely to an anti-Christian pope as I have heard of for hundreds of years!

It is amazing to see a Pope push anti-Christian teaching, or going so close to anti-Christian as to be hard to distinguish.

A devout Catholic friend told me Pope Francis has been taught as a Jesuit,and Jesuits are taught to never firmly commit to anything; therefore it is very difficult to pin Pope Francis down on anything in his native tongue. As I recall, he suspects most of the incendiary messages from Pope Francis are slightly mistranslated.

He agreed Francis was installed as Pope by a conspiracy, but said the Catholic Church has survived bad popes before.

That seems to be the most generous understanding of Pope Francis which I find has any credibility.

Only two replies? "requiring him to state the government’s preferred narrative about the lockdowns every time he made public remarks"?! That is outrageous, even though the pastor was unreasonable in his defiance vs. a dissent based upon research showing the type of restrictions were unreasonable, and showing that the state should have no objection to meeting in well-ventilated hall and observing spacing btwn families. And meeting outside for all to see when weather permitted.

Good for him and for the gospel of Truth!

If this the same pastor who ran the cops out of his church, calling them Nazis? If so, bold man!

Spines are in rare supply in today’s pulpits
