No but he talked about life being sacred. “I knew you in my mother’s womb.”
No politics here. I have not seen a prolife masses. In January, when the March for Life takes place, the parishes I have attended may do an announcement on the March and a short message on abortion during the homily. No pledges with any victim groups either, just a standard weekly mass.
Look up Luke 12:53. Christ’s message, as communicated by this priest, can indeed be divisive and isn’t always easy for people to receive.
Is this coming from the priest or from you?
So you are using the passage: they will be divided, father against son and mother against daughter, to justify this priest bringing division in his congregation.gam197:

It is coming for the situation, that when people do things, they have a reason for it, and he did this, in this way.
James 2 8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.Motherwit:

A rule of thumb is that just because you haven’t seen something doesn’t mean that it doesn’t happen.
Americans were never foreigners in the land of Egypt, so this verse does not apply. The old covenant does not apply to Christians either.
So why all these passages?
Politics do happen but they should not. I once attended a Catholic church in Boston where the priest sat in the first pew and was not on the altar. I knew something was not quite right and later learn the Church was not in good standing.gam197:

By your logic then people can justify abortion because gam197 quoted an Old Testament verse to support Jesus New Testament message.Motherwit:

If you want to apply the Old Testament laws to our politics, when do we start stoning people for engaging in homosexual activity and crossdressing? You will have to give up bacon too.
??? I’m asking where you’re getting the message that
Who is conveying that and how? It isn’t fair to misquote this priest or put words in his mouth.
He is communicating Christ’s message, which unfortunately can be quite divisive . . . as this thread is clearly demonstrating.
Christ’s message is not divisive. The priest created division by his political statement during mass. Thread is not clearly demonstrating that Christ meant to divide us.gam197:

Why should a message against racial injustice EVER be “divisive?” Catholics are commanded to try and end racial injustice wherever and whenever it exists.
Where did I do either of those things? I am the one who quoted fully what he said.
People are upset because they think a priest implied all white people are racist?
Because it was not a message about injustice but about a political rhetoric “white privilege”.gam197:

I’ve read the prayer. It is not about politics, it is about racial justice.
So you too see Christ as being divisive, wanting to create division.
It has been said over and over again, the words “white privilege” is political rhetoric.gam197:

Can you quote me the part of the prayer you think is political?
I did not forget and still trying to listen to the whole mass.
