]]> You need to see this, it asks a very important question: what are christians known for? As a christian you might feel a bit beat up in the beginning…but please, wait until you get to the outreach and confessional portion…powerful and sobering. Are we known for love? I’m not sure we are.

Thanks Sean P for the link.

    Also receiving fresh attention by the Vatican was social injustice, along the lines of the age-old maxim: “The rich get richer while the poor get poorer.”

    Ummm…how much did that giant solid gold cross run you Mr. Pope?

    I don’t know, the whole thing just rubs me the wrong way, it’s so about what man has to say and rules they set instead of who God is and what He wants for and from us. It is so easy for us to get caught up in pointing the finger and saying “Shame on you” and so difficult for us to wrap our arms around someone and say “I love you.” Again, it comes down to how and what we communicate. Is church about pointing out sin or showing redemption?

    What do you think? Is this another case of religion or spiritual guidance?
