Each week our prayer petitions at mass include prayers for
the 37 members of our small parish serving in the U.S. military, but this week
our pastor paused to give us time to PLEAD for them. As part of the government shutdown --- and
its deliberate attempts to make it noticeable and as inconvenient as possible
--- it ordered any priests or chaplains who visit military bases on Sunday to:
Stay away! Any scheduled religious
services were to be cancelled until further notice, including baptisms and
weddings.
Just when I thought I couldn’t look any further down on
those government “representatives” who fashion themselves as gods, they hit
this new low: No, we are not just AS
gods, we tell God what to do!
I dislike the tendency in our culture to be always changing
the meanings of words or coming up with new, ridiculous words, yet thinking
about our government I feel compelled to ask:
Anyone know of a word more disgusting than “disgusting?”
