Reflections from the pastoral ministry of an Evangelical Catholic Priest.
The church would like to think and indeed portray that they are being persecuted. In fact, they are merely irrelevant in the way most people think and lead their lives. This has been true for decades now.
ReplyDeleteI posit that irrelevancy, from the churches point of view, is an immeasurably worse fate than persecution. If the church wants to believe that they are being persecuted, if it makes them feel better about their irrelevancy, so be it. It isn't true, though. How are they being persecuted? Do you feel you are being persecuted, Tim. I suggest that you are simply being ignored.
