And in fact, this coincides with what happened in Quebec ...
I don't think you know what happened in Quebec. It wasn't due to changes with the Second Vatican Council or any liberalization of the Catholic Church. It was exactly the opposite. It was the further and further encroachment of the Catholic Church into the life of Quebecois. What followed was a rebellion against the Catholic Church. Read up on the Quiet Revolution.
It's all joke. If you're talking about the post I made about Israel, well, it's in jest.
It's not just the post about Israel. In many comments you let hate rule your words. A follower of Christ wouldn't do that. You should have as much compassion and empathy for Justin Trudeau as for Derek Sloan. Same goes for any Liberal or Conservative.
I am a layperson, of course I am not perfect, but the clergy has to be held to a higher standard.
God will judge everyone equally. Their position will not matter in his eyes.
The church (regardless of your sect) needs good people to support it, and to stop the haemorrhage of the faith.
Then be this good person, online and offline. Christianity is not only defined by visiting the church and reading the bible. If this was the case, I would already be one of the angels of God. Even I have doubt when it's -55 degrees with windchill on a Sunday morning and I wake up to drive 30 min to my church with my wife and kids. But this is not what makes me Christian. What defines Christianity for me is not to give into the anger and into the hate. You may argue that it is needed and that the other side started with the hate and all this "we go high when they go low" is just bullshit, but these arguments won't work in front of God. You know that you can be a Conservative without being hateful. You can advocate for lower immigration without calling your opponents faggots or traitors. You can be anti-abortion and still have compassion for every women who chose to undergo one. You can be against same-sex marriage and still be happy that a same-sex couple found each other in marriage. Be the person that would pass the judgement of God.
