So much for "God's punishment" -- CNN showing demolished churches.
They just showed a story on all the wiped out church buildings and folks holding mass on an empty concrete slab. It'll probably repeat later.

I thought this was supposed to be God's retribution for all those evil liberal baby killers? Hmmmm?

4. I have clergy friends in LA and MS.
One I can't get ANY information on - she lives in the Seashore District of S. Mississippi.

If any of you feel so inclined, please pray for my friend Mary. She is one of the most generous, loving souls I have ever known.

5. They'll say: sometimes God has to punish the good along with the
wicked to make his point.

Or: they were punished for not stopping the sin.

Or: they were Catholic.

6. Buildings
Church buildings have nothing to do with "church." Church buildings are nothing special. They mean absolutely nothing. The church is the people.

15. Not to the rabids. To them the building is sacred, the choir robes are
sacred, the hymnals are sacred, and the people--eh, they're a good source of funds.
