Title: FR member walks out of church because his politics is more important than God’s word (Pastor talks about Cindy Sheehan)

Please excuse me from bringing this over from FR. I just thought this post displayed crystal clear where the average freeper's allegiance lies when there is a choice between politics and the word of God confronting them.


Well, I walked out of church this morning over the Cindy Sheehan situation

I'll apologize in advance for this vanity post but I need to get this off my chest:

At our 10:30 a.m. mass this morning, our pastor was the celebrant. Today's Gospel was the story of Christ's meeting with the Canaanite woman and the eventual healing of her daughter. Our pastor then followed with his homily where he first related the plight of the Canaanite woman with a woman he knew who called him requesting prayers for an illness in her family which we could relate to since my wife and I are both contending with (minor, we hope) health issues.

The nest thing we know, the pastor is relating this to the "lady camped out in Texas asking for healing AND ACCOUNTABILITY" (the emphasis is my own). We sat there and listened through the sermon as he returned to the Sheehan story a few more times asking us to imagine an Iraqi woman who lost children in the same position.

Thankfully, it was pretty short and we stood for the Creed but then, immediately before the intercessions, the pastor returned to the topic.

This was too much for us so we turned and left, commenting to those around that we don't come to church to hear politics. I handed the usher my offering as we exited.

This is the first time something like this has happened in this church we have attended for the past twenty years or so and I feel pretty horrible about the whole thing.

Bull crap. It was because it was preceived by him as *left* politics is all. If the pastor had spoken about abortion, gays, or making sure they cast a vote for the *right* Bush, er, candidate, wink, wink, nod, nod, he would have sat his ass through it and applauded in the end. Freeking hypocrite.
