Bill, I’m a good practicing Catholic. I know not everyone is Catholic, although I wish they were: they don’t know what they’re missing. But our priests should know. Practicing ecumenism does not mean we are to invite a Protestant preacher in to our church during a Sunday Mass and allow that preacher to presume that all Christian churches are equal. They are not. And no preacher should tell a Mass congregation otherwise with a Catholic priest sitting in attendance, condoning such comments. Now, I do not expect the Lutheran preacher to agree. He’s not at fault. He simply should not... Read more →
