Paulie:
I confess to being a “Becker” as well, but I have to admit that YOUR explanation is nothing short of brilliant!

And, having spoken from both sides of a pulpit, I can well appreciate it, as I’m sure many others can.

Well done.

the main point here, and I listen to Glenn Beck a lot since he is on during the morning is that he did rescind his urge to “run away from it as fast as you can” and mentioned that it is important to find out the context in which the “parish” is preaching social justice, because it often is code for things that really do not have anything to do with social justice the way we believe it. I do see this as a real threat in some individual parishes, just over the summer I encountered a church in which the pastor specifically mentioned to the parish to sign a petition in favor of a health care bill that was going through my state legislature. I did not get the impression Glenn really intended to come off that harsh.

Glenn Beck is a former Catholic turned Mormon. For the record, the Roman Catholic church considers the Mormons to be a cult, not a Christian denomination. That might be part of Beck’s problem with Rome.

Personally, I try to remember that all of these conservative talk shows, while putting for the conservative message, are making a great deal of money at it. I think being active in supporting candidates is much more important than putting a great deal of faith in talk show hosts.
