The fact that we've had it so easy in this country the past few decades has lulled many into a feeling of false security. Welcome to the real world."<br /><br />How true those words are.Though I feel sorry for all of the people who will be put out of work, and all those children who will lose out on an opportunity to be placed in a "DECENT" home and family environment, I must applaud the Catholic Bishops of Illinois for taking a stand against evil, even if it meant dropping their civil suits.<br /><br />All Christians better get used to the idea that the situation for Christians WILL grow worse.Most Rev.

Barron says in the "Catholicism" project DVD...that in this world, people want to put Christ in the middle ground: "He's not God; he's just a nice religious man with some good teachings." Fr. Barron says something to the effect of "Jesus compels a choice. Either He is who He says He is (God); or He is a dangerous, radical, subversive person." There is no middle ground!! But people want to believe there is because you can ignore the middle-ground Christ.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04444704944288002925noreply@blogger.com
