I really believe this is as the bottom of my MIL's defensiveness and anger when the subject of religion comes up.<br /><br />KAM:<br />My mother would be in her 70s and she went to college at (St. Catherine's). Many of the ladies still are in touch with one another and a good number of them are quite liberal. In fact, right now they are trying to oust their parish priest because he's too conservative and out of touch. Tragic and cruel.swissmisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091563100968996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-2688161327522405992009-09-12T18:42:34.330-06:002009-09-12T18:42:34.330-06:00Had the same crazy thing happen about a month ago ...Had the same crazy thing happen about a month ago after our Evening Prayer in the church, and this with someone within our Secular Franciscan group. She's an older women (70's), and a firm believer in Life in the Spirit prayer meetings and she sort of left me dumbfounded with some of her comments about the Mass and the catholic church in general. Something along the lines of "I don't really care what the priest says up there, as long as it makes everybody happy." And then somthing about too many rules in the church, etc, etc. I don't know, it left me with a bad feeling. Way too protestant, or something. At least your SIL and MIL are from a different church. I had this coming from a Secular Franciscan!kamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248881807382198330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-80263705723919434542009-09-12T12:41:28.878-06:002009-09-12T12:41:28.878-06:00How people use Scripture will never cease to amaze...How people use Scripture will never cease to amaze me. It just strikes me as a bit...well arrogant.<br />And then it so often makes NO sense whatsoever. I wonder if it is apathy or is it fear? If they really started looking at what the truth it, I wonder what would happen.<br />As it happens I was thinking today about the new interpretation of the destruction of Sodom is based on refusing hospitality- and of course they did; but it was a symptom of the active anti-family annti-marriage pro-gay (for want of a better word right now) lifestyle. The contraceptive mentality also breaks down hospitality.<br />God blessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
