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
Reflections from the pastoral ministry of an Evangelical Catholic Priest.
How exactly are North American Christians in danger of becoming like those under Islamic governance? And if they indeed they are, isn't that the point of Western secular states, to avoid a theocratic government that seeks to impose its arbitrary religious laws upon those whose religious beliefs are in conflict with it? Aren't the catholic 'Natural Laws" as arbitrary and hateful as Sharia law?
ReplyDeleteYou may practice your religious beliefs as you choose. You may not subjugate women and deny them their reproductive righte. You may not vilify, ostracize and discriminate against those with same sex attraction preference. You may not sodomize young boys given over to you for religious training and Catholic cultural inculcation and avoid civil penalty , as you continue to demand.
You are not in danger of losing your religious freedom, you are simply required to folow the rules that everyone else does
