He pulls the old 'it ain't evil if done for a righteous cause' argument. Which, anyone who read Mark a dozen years ago, should certainly ponder.David Griffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06629314279592541401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-47071841771020035712020-07-20T16:38:13.536-04:002020-07-20T16:38:13.536-04:00Again, I wouldn't single any one out - though ...Again, I wouldn't single any one out - though Mark deserves a bit of his own medicine - but I thought someone somewhere would have said something. This shouldn't be a small thing, especially given what so many do comment on (the Portland feds, or the latest Trump, or some Conservative covid reaction). So while I hold no one to the fire, I would think out of a fair list of Catholics we'd have at least someone saying something.

I also know he and his commentariat never bother to go check anybody they are critiquing to actually <i>see</i> if a comment has been made.<br /><br />So this time? I say judge him as he judges others. And Mark Shea is perfectly ok with burning churches. How bad is the age we live in where I can find more vigorous defenses of the Catholic church from secular non-believers than a self-styled evangelist. With friends like these, why does the church need enemies?
