Good morning, all,Any portrait of Jesus as a political revolutionary is inaccurate, Pope Benedict XVI told his Sunday public audience on March 11.Reflecting on the cleansing of the Temple, recounted in …

I like being reminded that violence has no place in the Kingdom of God, following Jesus’ example.
I do think that our politically correct viewpoint on violence misinterprets verbal vehemence as violence, when it’s not violent. And, I do think that, in self defense against abusers in the world, that striking to stop an attacker is justified.
God loves all of you, lurkers, too,

So much for the heresy of Liberation Theology.

Well I will put that article in my favorites to save but what do we counter with when people ask----“What would Jesus do?”
It comes up in political debates—does it even belong there?

If violence is an instrument of the AntiChrist, then why does the catechism state we can use it if necessary? How, if it dehumanizes, are we able to use it at all in defense of humanity?
The entirety of this article conflicts with everything I have read, been taught, or had explained to me.
A prophetic act of violence?
Why command men to have a sword? Why did Jesus allow Peter to carry something that could never be used? For show?
None of this makes any sense and is in direct contrast to what is already expressed by the Church.
I find it disconcerting when the move to clarify only contradicts earlier things which are easily understood. THIS is the exact issue the SSPX has with VII: positive reformulation negatively impacts traditional understanding and allows at least the appearance of contradiction.
This is probably a great message for the people who aren’t Catholic. It’s just a clusterbungle for those of us who are wanting to be obedient to the Holy Father and have been told something completely contradictory.
Which is it?

Depends on what the debate is about, I guess, as to whether What Would Jesus Do? should be asked.
Jesus didn’t leave us an economic programme, for example, although
he did teach fairness, kindness, and the fact that we ARE our brother’s keepers,
(whether “the market” supports our paying them a living wage or not).
Jesus told us a lot of his, almighty, views about a lot of things.
Other things we have to put together as If A, then B, under the guidance of the
holy Magisterium.
And pray like mad.
Love to all,
