No doubt there is an infiltration of Marxism in all the churches.<br /><br />Is the world of politics different than 20 or 30 years ago? You betcha! Most of my relatives (in Minnesota with a few in California) are Marxists. <br /><br />The only relative that I have any contact with is my aunt by marriage (who thinks Obama is fabulous, but I overlook that because she is in her late 70's and only accesses MSM.) I am ridiculed, called nuts, crazy, stupid, and a "religious nut" by my own family.<br /><br />It's the new modern day form of martyrdom. My blogger buddies have become my "family." <br /><br />Looking forward to the new blog...Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562944653624224107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-15585884928941162522011-05-15T23:51:31.213-07:002011-05-15T23:51:31.213-07:00Teresa, even though I am a bishop, I often find my...Teresa, even though I am a bishop, I often find myself questioning not only my faith, but also my politics. When it comes to my faith, since I don't always have the answers, when I become too baffled, I find it is best to just let go and let God. As far as politics goes, on some issues, ie., abortion, homosexuality, euthanasia,etc., it is always best to stand firm on the side of truth, as there is nothing to be gained by compromising. When we try to compromise with evil, there is everything to lose because there is no Middle ground.<br /><br />I just posted the first installment of struggling with infertility.Most Rev.

Patrick Henry want little to know government and felt that the article of confederation were the right dose of government. James Madison on the other hand envisioned something that resembled a monarch. He want a powerful central government. Many on both sides of the ideological spectrum has their supports, but they eventually did find common ground in Philadelphia on 1787. They were locked away from outside influences, sworn to secrecy so they could face off and hash it. Polar opposites can find common ground.

Even priests and rabbis struggle with faith. It is so hard to know the answers but it is OK to ask them. It is a mark of your maturity that you are brave enough to talk about it.<br /><br />I was envying the Wordpress blogs last week, too.
