God had something to say and he said it here. He did it because he wants Haiti to become a new country.
Granted, people say crazy things at their times of loss and must be cut slack, but the consistent language of organized religion is like the extrication attempts of someone who has painted himself into a corner. Pitiful enough in times pacific. Unforgettably irritating in harrowing times. Let us all now conclude this funeral mass by joining together to praise God in song for having helped Haiti become new. Page 35 in your hymnals. A Mighty Fortress is Our God.
Do the Catholics really have a hymn by Martin Luther in their hymnals? Very inclusive of them, I must say.
ReplyDeleteDear TED, Catholics sing many "Protestant" hymns but usually with revised lyrics.
ReplyDeleteFr. Tony,
ReplyDeleteDid you seriously expect something different from an Institution that measures progress in terms of Centuries?
Dear R4R,
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I expect anymore. I do know that there is currently an appetite for cleaning out that garage known as organized religion. I want to help.
F. Tony - Interesting post....BTW I don't think you'll ever be able to clean out "organized religion" because I don't think such an organization exists:)
ReplyDeleteSunrise Sister, you may have heard of the Vatican, an international organization whose head is reputed to be god's representative on earth, which has a senate, which has a hierarchical structure which is so politically connected it even has an Ambassador from the United States?
ReplyDeleteIf that isn't organized religion, I don't know what is.
