Haha, wow. So many excuses against the footage, does anyone have reasons to support the Sanhedrin?

Not interested in the link? Google “James Boyd Albuquerque” and see the video

The guy who got shot because officers thought he had a gun and had already brandished knives at officers? Who was severely mentally ill and had been trespassing? Who had a standoff with 19 cops before he would move off the property? Then the officers made some bad decisions? That James Boyd from Albuquerque?

It has nothing to do with church grounds or priests. The mentally ill don’t get a free pass to trespass, especially when they keep telling those people who legitimately have a claim to the land they are going to kill them and their families.

Fr. Rene Robert blew my mind with REAL seriously legit God-inspired work. He is AN EXAMPLE of how Catholics and Catholic Priests should adapt to the situation. Don’t like links? Google “Fr. Rene Robert Florida”

It’s called W.W.J.D.

Veterans are trained to have and lose senses of security when their firearm is compromised. Do we disarm a Veteran make them insecure and have a cop shoot them during a heated custody battle in Church after it was them that got us the right?

🤨

So all priests should face death at the hands of the mentally ill just to prove that they can do it?

Jesus was the Son of God and had miraculous powers. I don’t know of many priests who have that ability.
 
Priests should not be afraid to die in the line of duty as entrusting someone who kills in the line of duty instead is more wrong.

We have Emergency Mobile Alerts for mostly natural disasters. Such as earthquakes, volcano’s and tsunamis. They do over ride silent mode, which is a good thing. I guess if they went off in Mass, that would be a good thing especially if the emergency is locally affected.

What?

I’m sorry, you’re just so off base.

A priest is a human. He is required to administer the sacraments. He is not required to administer to any one person or set of people. Each are gifted their own charism. Very few are called to die.

It was for the Mass that hubby and I were at. We were not locals and we’d walked to church from the Hotel (both on safe ground). The flash flood sent many of the locals downstairs/in the parish hall to call family that were NOT on safe ground. No doubt in my mind it saved lives. (as mentioned above the priest gave a short homily and then offered “5 minutes of silent prayer” so people could call family members)
 
SMHW: I’m going to agree with you, this is a futuristic implications argument. My point is, install a doggy door to your house and you may get a black cat
 
That is a great feature, my gripe is that natural disaster alerts don’t work with the Red Cross for shelter points. The disabled may one day walk among us with mobile phones and routes should be the next click. And, an Uber/Lyft “pay us after the emergency cross verification” would be nice. Busses @ full throttle speed dial for Churches.

Maybe one day we will see Car dealers and Enterprise jump on the bandwagon, especially scooters. As those scooters are probably gone after a tsunami anyway. Instant business conversion from $5,000 sales to $500 1 month rentals.

The reason is because people who attack priests (or others) does not make for a good analogy to cell phone alerts. The cell and wireless alerts are already in the Church. There is currently no door. The options are to do nothing and allow the alerts, to convince people to police their own phones, or for the Church to find a way to keep the phones from making sounds.
 
I get that. To me, it is important to weigh out incidents in many areas. The vulnerability of not responding to drifters properly is my concern. We have seen plenty of retaliation against police brutality and seeing it on our doorstep is just as dreadful as wrongdoers. In my experiences, there have been punishment distributed payloads of things for not doing right. God sees what we don’t and many of us question, “how could that be so?” Such travesties occur more often when we are unjust to the helpless. Encouraging a Priest to do good toward a perfect stranger may equal out to another safe child in the grand scheme of things, Angels said don’t be afraid, do what is told to you. The ones who listened did well.

Like I said before. If Native Americans refused to build there, then follow that wisdom. Too many people are fixated on “luxary” homes with scenic views.

If you build houses on land that belongs to the river, even if the river only visits it once every hundred years or so, sooner or later the river will want it back.

Japan had a similar issue. They found ancient boundary stones that said “don’t build below this line!”
 
And what did the Dali Lama say about priests with guns… We have to set a good standard as the worlds greatest religion. The last battle involving religious people among the issue was the Amish and you never hear about that anymore do you. Nobody is investigating how they recovered from it. If they did evaluate it, people would be stunned at what is said.

So does this app work by blocking cell phones or do parishioners have to voluntarily install it?

Yeah, I was wondering about that. I was under the impression that something that automatically silences or disables cell phones is illegal in the U.S.

I know the feeling was the only air ambulance pilot for a longtime. Phone has gone off in the middle of thanksgiving service Easter, Christmas. Normal sundays. Sunday school programs, school programs.
