Let’s Vow to Stop the Fight

January 30, 2018 Comments Off on Let’s Vow to Stop the Fight

Too much suspicion, accusations, misinformation, downright lies, doublespeak, truth-hiding, denigrating, vilifying, and just plain nastiness.  No wonder our country is so divided.  We need to stop all of that and reunite!

But will that happen when Muller finishes his investigation and issues a report?  I doubt it.  Because, although Muller has a stellar reputation for honesty and integrity on both sides of the Congressional aisle, his findings won’t substantiate what large numbers of people believe, no matter which way it goes.  Leading us into more suspicions, accusations, misinformation, and the rest of it.

I propose that ALL of us–members of  Congress and the general public–take a vow right now, before Muller draws any conclusions.  That vow would be to accept Muller’s findings, whatever they are, and move on.

For the good of our country.  For the good of our souls.

Pope Restates the Obvious

July 29, 2013 2 comments

It’s good that Pope Francis stated again that the Church must accept homosexuals into the fold, as they, too, are part of God’s family.  He says we should accept and not judge any person who follows God, even, I assume, homosexual priests (gasp!).

Well, duh!  Homosexuality is a “sin” when practiced.  If a person is, within himself, a homosexual–or tax cheater or liar or Tweeter of unsavory pictures–he has the inclination but doesn’t “sin” until he actually practices that inclination.

Priests take a vow not to enter into sexual relationships.  Which is more important, that one is inclined toward AC or DC or that he breaks that vow?  If he keeps his vows and goes about a life of priestly work and doesn’t flaunt or promote his sexual preference–who cares?  If God does, isn’t that between God and him?

Let the Church discipline and reject those who fail to keep their vows, not just a group that “real” men somehow feel threatened by.
