Time for Church

[Rufus T. Firefly]

A statement of strength.

All fenced in.......and all fenced out.

...giving the Shepherd’s Sheep a place in which they belong and can feel safe inside, while keeping the predators outside (?)

Maybe....maybe, not. One could easily see that as exclusionary and an un-Christian action.

Even going back to the Israelites , do tabernacles provide safety by keeping undesirable elements out, or do tabernacles only keep the sacred safe inside?

Or are they just a structural edifice and symbol?

Ours, in our altars, keep religiously and materially precious items - Ciboria, contains consecrated Hosts - safe and sound.

For example, when Norte Dame in Paris was ablaze, did you know that, indeed, a cleric did rush in and up to the cathedrals’s Tabernacle to recuse the Eucharist, and did so.

When I heard about the fire when it was in progress , that was my first inquiry.

When David wore his special garment - his Ephod - and did his enthusiastic dance wearing it at the Hebrew Tabernacle’s arrival , they all took the moment very serious - as sacred.

Building still burnt.......and churches still get burnt in this country. Symbols burn.

Symbols burn. But authentic Love remains , true to itself.

Have you ever seen photographs of what structures were attacked and desecrated during the Mexican Revolution ?

Activist group threatens to 'burn Eucharist' in display of 'disgust' toward Catholics: 'Bigotry'
The organization expressed 'disgust' for the Catholic Church

Pro-choice group Ruth Sent Us, a reference to late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, threatened to burn the Eucharist in response to a Twitter user who offered to pray for them after they called for protests at Catholic churches and justices' homes.

"Stuff your rosaries and your weaponized prayer. We will remain outraged after this weekend, so keep praying. We’ll be burning the Eucharist to show our disgust for the abuse Catholic Churches have condoned for centuries," tweeted the organization, which has called on abortion supporters to protest at Catholic churches across the country over the Mother's Day weekend.

St. Joseph's Catholic Church and St. Peter's Church Catholic Church, both of which are on Capitol Hill, reportedly requested increased police presence amid fears that protesters will attempt to disrupt Sunday morning Mass.

The tweet, which also included an image of Jesus chasing moneychangers out of the temple and a woman wearing the red garb from "The Handmaid's Tale," was in a response to a user who said she would be praying the rosary for the protection of the clergy, parishioners, police, and "for the safety and change-of-heart" of pro-abortion protesters.

2 different things and authentic Love, ah well, now that's truly a rare commodity scattered in the finest of threads traced amidst humanity.....

During the past week i have been asked my stance on abortion 100's of times. While knocking on doors trying to get people to vote for me. I tell them " I think abortion sucks It leaves to much pain for the mother .I'm a father of a little girl and hope she is never in the position of needing an abortion. I then ask them a few simple things.
Q. can a 13 year old girl adopt a child?
A..no obviously not, are you nuts !
Q.. what about a 15 year. Can she adopt if she feels like it?
A absolutely not!
Q.. What about a 18 year old girl? Clearly she can
A.. No way!
Q... what about a 20 year old girl? clearly she can if she feels like it
A... no she can't!
That's weird there are over 500,000 kids in foster care. why can't one of these girls adopt a child?
A.. there are tons of rigorous background checks, proof of financial/mental stability etc it's a whole thing you need to go through.
But if she is 14 and gets pregnant. we force her to carry a child full term and give birth to something that we have established she is Not Old enough for, financially stable enough to pay for and mentally not old enough. Now we are suddenly comfortable with a traumatized young girl caring for a vulnerable little human being
Again i think abortions suck. I would like to see them be SAFE and RARE.
This little story here may be why the Republicans did not want me on their ticket.

Well, you applied rational thought & reasoning along with facts and that's not allowed..........
