Interesting. Our pastor last night made similarly obnoxious, though not as blatant, comments.
He called on us to reject racism and predjudice (fine so far), then likened the Canaanite woman to muslims whom "we feel free to search anytime, anywhere."
This is a new pastor and it's only the second of his homilies I've heard, and both times he's made a political comment. Yuck.
If your name didn'd indicate that you lived in PA (I live in FL), I'd say we had the same pastor. Mine gave an almost identical homily, and then seemed to say that it didn't really matter anyway, God didn't care if people ever became Christians or not, universal salvation was on a roll and everything was groovy.
Maybe he won't feel quite the same when a Muslim terrorist blows him up - but then, I doubt that even that would penetrate a liberal brain.
Sounds like talking points for the Left that infiltrated our institutions.
Sooner or later you will have to accept these priests for who they are.
Both preachers probably downloaded their sermons from the same website!
Obviously all of us in the traditional churches heard the same lesson this morning.
Our priest used it also to talk about putting walls up for people who are "different" or not in our crowd.
She is never obnoxious, but fairly sure she leans a bit to liberalism. I think she was more afraid of offending those who think Jesus was God while he was on earth and thus not subject to prejudice or misunderstanding which he obviously was.
She wondered what people thought who read that Texas is one of three states (I think it was three) wherein whites are a minority. My thought was, "that's fine, as long as they are legal and habla engleese."
He called on us to reject racism and predjudice (fine so far), then likened the Canaanite woman to muslims whom "we feel free to search anytime, anywhere."
What's with the Canaanite woman comparisons? Are the priests all using the same book, or what? (it's not the Word, that's for sure) I don't see any connection between the Canaanite woman & Cindy Sheehan.
