Just came home from church and we are furious!
We belong to a Catholic parish in a retirement community in Florida. While my husband was driving home, I read the church bulletin. An article in the bulletin started out beautifully but then became disgustingly political. The article said that because so many young people fell for the Hope and Change in 2008, in reality it was "Hype and Lies." You tasted "socialism" and have seen evil face to face. The article also called the 2008 election the "Great Lie."
I plan to write to the priest and tell him why we are leaving the church. Politics have no place in church whether it be from the pulpit or the bulletin. If the church, any church, wants to be political, then they should give up their tax exempt status.
I couldn't help but think that if the church is so against socialism, then the parishioners shouldn't be driving to Mass on the socialist roads. Also, because it is a retirement community, most of the people are on SS and Medicare. On Monday I plan to go to the local Obama campaign office and volunteer my services, something I should have done before now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sure, sure.
In case one's not aware, for some strange demographic reason, lapsed Catholics comprise a substantial number of primitives on Skins's island. And they're the most venomous, the most violent, the most Hate-filled, of all the primitives.
A lapsed Presbyterian or a lapsed Baptist on Skins's island ain't nothing compared with a lapsed Catholic on Skins's island.
I dunno why this is, but there it is.
Many of them have a habit of allegedly having attended church one Sunday--even the Hate-filled
Die alte Sau has done that before, although admittedly I've never seen the Hate-filled defrocked warped primitive do it--and found something to get righteously indignant about.
That the Michigan primitive was once a Catholic sounds credible, so I won't argue that.
But I really doubt she was in church this morning. She probably just found a discarded church bulletin left on the table in a restaurant where she went to join other oldsters for breakfast, by chance finding something to reinforce her Hate of God and religion.
The campfire's a big one, the primitives all on fire.
Oh-hum.
