The churches I have gone to and been part of constantly talk about love, forgiveneness, and salvation, and I don't think my experience is untypical. But I guess the narrative is stronger than any amount of experience.Fr.

And taking a stand on abortion and homosexuality had to be clarified. But now that is established we need to move on from there and quit hitting everybody over the head with these truths. Let's move on and focus on the Jesus who came to save ALL humankind and his message of love and forgiveness. That is where the church currently struggles but rest assured the Holy Spirit will guide us in the right direction.<br /><br />CliffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668594987436792920.post-13210721428225472812015-05-31T12:40:43.335-04:002015-05-31T12:40:43.335-04:00Bravo Denis!
