"Several people have said to me, I'm afraid of guns," he wrote. "My response to one woman was, 'well, how do you feel about rape?'"

KABOOM.

...as He leads His army to destroy those attacking Israel, to say it does not go well for the bad guys would be something of an understatement.

I think I like this guy!

Exactly! Wow, this is some heavy duty stuff.

Very glad to see this.

Why do I think that some of our Calvinist friends won’t be posting here?! LOL!

This one looks like a very wealthy parish but a lot of the black Baptist churches in Detroit are doing the same.

We already started - and finished - one Presbyterian Rebellion. Maybe she wants us to start another?

The Ann Arbor Public School Board recently passed a new policy that bans guns on school property.

BTW, that is something Ann Arbor schools will lose on as soon as its challenged because the state constitution and state law hold supremacy over a local school board.

Lansing Catholic Bishop Earl Boyea said in a statement that guns and gun lessons do not belong in a Catholic Church.

Sounds like this guy is on a head-on collision course with his Bishop. Looks as if he is going to face a choice between obeying his Bishop on this or leaving the Priesthood.

The update is that the priest will not be haveing CPL classes(the academic section not live fire)in his church.
‘he Ann Arbor priest did not recant any of his positions in his Facebook post, but did say that the classes will not continue.’

We have had gun classes in our church, and women taught some of them.

It’s not always “my way or the highway.” You should hear what the priests at St. Agnes say at the Tridentine Masses on Sunday. Everything from death penalty support to gun rights to condemnation of homosexuals.

Several churches in our area sponsor/conduct CHL classes. There is also a Catholic church that has a prepping group with consultants brought in from outside.

Say what you think. Not that we’ve not heard it all before.

What if I want to carry a revolver? Does Michigan have special CRL classes and do the classes cover open and conceal carry?

I guess I shouldn’t be poking fun since I am here in Illinois where the laws are so convoluted we cannot carry on public transportation within 107.2 feet from a school or what ever might be considered school property perhaps even school bus stops.

I think this is a fine idea. Lot of nuts out there who might want to do harm to members of your particular faith group. Anyone who goes into a building where people may be armed just to cause trouble is not right in the head.

I knew it had to be Christ the King.
That is (or was) Tom Monaghan’s church.

I was looking at it on google earth. Looks like a very wealthy church with riding stables and condos.

Christ Himself told His people to arm themselves.

Luke 22:35-38

What is a firearm but today's equivalent of a sword?

It’s on Domino’s Farms. That’s all Monaghan’s property.
