I disagree with staying & listening to a homily that he/she knew was basically a lie. The church is NOT the place to spout political nonsense, but to hear God's Word preached & to take the Eucharist. How could one worship where lies were be told?

Partisan politics has no place in Church.
If the good Pastor had taken the time to do little research, he would have known that President Bush already met with this woman. He would have known that she is hooked up with hate America, far Left groups and has her own political agenda and is using the death of her son as a facade for her true agenda.
Everyone feels sympathy for a mother who has lost her son. She certainly has a right to her opinion, but this is getting out of hand.

Personally, I would have walked out the first time he mentioned her name/situation. Since you walked out after he was through with his sermon, people probably figured you were leaving because church was over. I would not have dropped the offering in the plate, and I'd be finding a new church this afternoon. That's just me, though. I'm a no-nonsense kinda person when it comes to Christianity. Many Churches of today are too liberal for me. I've walked out on a couple for saying things from the pulpit that I felt were out of place.

Don't feel bad...I walked out at a lesbian baptism.
Two lesbians baptising their baby. No child should be denied baptism, but the public spectacle of upholding procreation by artificial means for political purposes is a slippery slope.

No problem. Welcome to FR.
To: Alia; PMCarey
Points well taken - believe me, I'm not anywhere near the best Christian in the world; more like the "bad Catholic" in Walker Percy's 'Love in the Ruins." But the introduction of Ms. Sheehan's brand of anger and hatred at any point in the Mass and, particularly, at the intercessions is a little much for me.
To: Chi-townChief
If he were my priest, during confession, I would mention I had unkind thoughts about a certain priest... one that interjects politics during mass. He'd get the point - QUICK.

Thankfully, it was pretty short and we stood for the Creed... I would have left sooner...and loudly.
To: madison10
Didn't read your question properly before - today's Gospel was Matthew 15:21-28 in many churches (many others celebrated The Assumption) which is the story of Jesus and the Canaanite woman. So in that sense, our priests are reading from the same book of the Gospels. On the political side, I'm not sure.
To: Trajan88
I hate to say this but as I've talked to a few people about this today, they know very little about the Sheehan story and are thus in the dark about why I walked out.
To: Chi-townChief
I would have walked out during the homily. And I would have made glaring eye contact with the priest as I turned to leave.
That comparison is preposterous.

I pass St. Gerald's "faith community" on the way to St. Thomas More Catholic Church {81st and California} for the noon Traditional Latin Mass. I invite you to do the same.

Sorry, I do not have your file on hand. Just an impression that you are often found bashing Catholics. If I am in error, please fogive me.

I certainly forgive you.
And, I believe you are in error.
I have virtually never intended to bash anyone.
I have very rarely noted Roman belief/tradition distinctives which I've found very less than Biblical or perhaps less than understandable from my perspective.
But I've persistently held Roman bros and sis in actually rather high esteem hereon.
There are others I couldn't say that about, however. I think most of them have been banned.

Hi. There are over 200 posts and I don't have time to read all of them so I apologize if my post covers something already discussed. But I note that you are from Chicago and also apparently Catholic. If your uncomfortable with your parish I would suggest possibly a different one. The link below is to a Catholic parish that is a tad unusual, starting with the fact that its pretty conservative. Feel free to have a look at the website. It might be something that would appeal to a well grounded and conservative Catholic.
