Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p. Diocese of Pembroke
First thing you need to realize is that this is not about food, it's about politics, ambitions, and power.
ReplyDeleteHomeless, hungry people have no power, and usually, their only ambition is to get their next meal and a place to sleep out of the weather. But let a political or religious group (especially one in opposition to the reigning pols) start feeding them, and they will grow an affinity with that political or religious group -- their benefactors -- and acquire power by proxy with that group. And that is precisely what the state does NOT want!
I keep warning folks who have double agendas that they must divide their goals rather than combining them. If your goal is to feed people, then you must not combine that with politics or religion, because your hidden agenda will always be suspect by those who oppose it.
Oops...error. I meant to say, "power by association," not, "power by proxy."
