  1. Since you’ve approached your pastor after a homily that you found objectionable, can you advise me?

    In citing examples of our degrading society this past Sunday, my pastor quoted Howard Stern’s reference to girls escaping a school shooting incident as “hotties” and mentioned a video game called “Postal” which requires the player to execute himself in order the exit the game.

    My seven-year-old was sitting next to me as Fr. Mike said these things and he gestured by pointing his finger at his head and making a “puff” noise. I told him not to do that. But, looking around, there were other children in the church besides my son.

    When Fr. Mike began repeating over and over again that we have a “crazy God,” I told my son to cover his ears and stop listening.

    Am I overreacting or was my pastor out of line?

    I appreciate your opinion. My husband and other Catholic friends agree with me that the homily was ill-advised.

  2. Hello!

    I am responding to your comment you left through my blog.

    After re-reading my comment on Candy’s post, I believe I may have worded myself incorrectly. There were a lot of beliefs and practices that the Roman Catholic church couldn’t answer for me through the Bible.

    Thanks for contacting me!
