Show 34: What did Jesus mean, "Call no man father"? · The Uncensored Catholic

1:00
All welcome. Today's show is today we're going to get into really one of
1:03
the most ridiculous arguments that anti Catholics make against Catholicism, against our belief in
1:11
practices, against our cultural traditions, against the language we use. And you
1:17
know, it's probably not gonna be that long of a show. Honestly,
1:19
this one is so ludicrous on its face that shouldn't take much time. I
1:23
think we can dispel this one in just a few minutes. So you know,
1:30
they often make the charge. In fact, every anti Catholic I've ever
1:34
encountered makes a charge. They say, Jesus said called no men on earth
1:40
father, but Catholics call a priest father. Wow, Catholics can't possibly be
1:46
Christian. They can't be following what Jesus said. Well, I guess if
1:49
you're going to take one verse out of context and not use any of your
1:55
mental faculties to consider what this might mean, it could be a convincing argument
2:00
if you're a complete idiot. Think about it. At the time when Jesus
2:07
said this, the Jews, the religious Jews of his era, called Abraham
2:14
their father. They said, we have our father Abraham. Yeah, was
2:19
he condemning all Jewish belief from the time of Abraham up to I don't know
2:27
the last like four thousand years before he appeared on earth, and saying they
2:30
were all condemned to hell because they had called Abraham their father. No,
2:36
Abraham was the father of the Hebrew or Jewish race, you could say,
2:39
of the Jewish religion that came through the Hebrew race. That was his natural
2:46
role. He was their ancestor, He was their father. Every Jewish child
2:53
who at least speaks Hebrew is going to say to call their father Abba.
2:57
And although Jesus was speaking Aramaic and he would have used the Aramaic word for
3:01
father, the meanings of the two were the same. Was he saying that
3:06
every Jewish child, like especially the one that he had just held up and
3:09
said you need to be like a child to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven,
3:14
was condemned to hell because they called the man who fathered them baba or
3:20
father. No that that really, that doesn't just defy logic. That is
3:30
utterly ludicrous on its face. Really, I would call this argument silly,
3:38
but as silly as it is, it really is one of the most common
3:42
arguments that products making against Catholicism. It can really get worked up because we
3:47
addressed the priest as father, you know, father Bob, father Dan,
3:53
father whomever we call the Pope Pope, which comes from the Italian for Papa,
3:59
and the Hope is the father to all the Catholic Church alive on the
4:02
earth during his life. I have had people whom I had been friends with
4:11
for years get in my face with this ridiculing, demonic laughter on this very
4:19
point. And I am telling you you can basically dispel this one in five
4:27
minutes or less. There's something about the nature of Protestant sermons, Bible studies,
4:34
and devotionals. They seem to take more often than not. I won't
4:40
say always, but yeah, I feel pretty comfortable almost saying always taking Bible
4:45
verses out of context. A minister will preach an entire sermon on just like
4:49
one or two sentences, rather than the overall meaning and the message of the
4:55
chapter from which those words were taken. He doesn't, I mean much much
5:00
less does he compare it to similar passages to explain its meaning. When passengers
5:05
are taken out of context, their meaning is lost, especially when we remember
5:11
that Jesus always spoke to the Jews in parables, if you did not understand
5:15
the meaning of the parable, which he would then have to explain to his
5:19
disciples, because even they couldn't get it. They would say, Lord,
5:23
what does this mean? And why are you speaking to them in such hard
5:26
to understand languages? And he said, well, because they denied the prophets,
5:30
and they are people who have vision but don't see, and ears but
5:34
don't hear you. Whatever that quote is. The end result is a simplistic
5:42
and often erroneous understanding, especially of the more difficult books like say Daniel or
5:48
the Book of Revelation, the apocalyptic books, that you have no idea what's
5:55
being said in those books unless you understand the text on what they're written,
6:00
the allegories, the references to books of the Old Testament, and really the
6:06
teachings of the Catholic Church, one of the founding members of whom was Saint
6:12
John, who wrote the Book of Revelation, and he did actually write much
6:15
of it in code because he was in exile. And I mean, if
6:20
you don't understand, if you don't have the context of history, especially the
6:26
oral and written tradition of the Catholic Church post Biblical, you cannot understand the
6:30
Book of Revelation, and that has been the cause for I don't even know
6:33
how many cults, how many times in the history of just the United States,
6:39
as someone stood up and said, oh, the world's going to come
6:41
to an end on nineteen hundred, on January first, nineteen hundred. Because
6:45
I did the math, and I've looked at the Book of Revelation, Sell
6:48
all you got, give it to the poor, get ready for the rapture.
6:53
And actually the rapture is completely unbiblical. That's only a concept that's about
6:58
fifty years old, maybe sixty at this point. The Bible actually says those
7:03
who endure into the end will be saved. But again, you can't understand
7:06
that unless you get it in context. But you know, this is so
7:11
much more simple than that. We'll get into all that at some point.
7:14
I mean, we'll go through the apocalyptic writings and I will help you understand.
7:18
Hopefully I can help my Protestant brothers and sisters understand the Book of Revelation.
7:25
Especially, maybe I can help my Catholic brothers and sisters understand who have
7:29
been perhaps poorly educated in our modern Catholic schools, which are not well they
7:36
let's just say, they seem to be more focused on social justice and environmental
7:41
issues and on actually educating souls and getting people to heaven, you know,
7:45
if they've been thoroughly infiltrated by communism essentially liberalism, if you feel more comfortable
7:50
in calling it that. But then many people just don't read the Bible in
7:58
context, and you have to read the Bible in context for years. January
8:03
one, I started the first page of Genesis and I finished. I read
8:07
a page, well, five pages a day is what I usually do,
8:09
and even if I missed some days and I take a few days off,
8:13
you know, read the entire Bible cover to cover. I'm not bragging,
8:16
I'm saying that's the way one ought to read the Bible, at least from
8:20
the beginning to the end of a chapter or a book, I should say
8:24
of a book, but especially from page one of Genesis to the very last
8:31
page of the Book of Revelations. And then the early church fathers and who
8:37
explained to early Christians were almost universally illiterate. People could not pick up a
8:43
Bible and read it because they couldn't read. The first few hundred years of
8:48
the Church was almost entirely oral. Bibles were expensive. They were copied by
8:54
hand. Just one copy of the Bible would cost them about fifty thousand dollars
8:58
in today's terms. There was only one for each church, and they would
9:03
bring it out and they display it, and the priests would read to the
9:07
congregation, just as he does today at Mass, and he would give a
9:11
homily explaining what it meant. And he knew what it meant because he had
9:15
gone to legitimate Catholic schools where he had gone through years and years of years
9:20
of explaining exactly what the Bible meant in an unbroken chain, all the way
9:24
up to the very apostles who wrote the Gospels. When someone picks up a
9:30
Bible of a day, you know, God willing they have a decent translation.
9:33
Most don't, you know, it used to be that well, even
9:39
Protestants respect of the Dewey Reems. The Dewey Rahims is a solid Bible.
9:41
It contains all the books, and it is close, in very very close,
9:48
probably one of the most accurate of all in translation of the first Bibles,
9:52
like when Saint Jerome translated the Bible from to Latin, which was the
9:56
universal language of the time. If someone picks of the King James Bible and
10:01
they read it with books cut out, several books cut out, because you
10:07
know, it didn't fit with Protestant doctrine. It had been Christian doctrine for
10:11
fifteen hundred years almost, but Martin Luther didn't like it. Martin Luther wanted
10:16
to cut out the Book of James. He wanted to cut out the Book
10:18
of Revelations. He wanted to cut out anything that he didn't like. And
10:22
he changed the very words of Jesus Christ himself and admitted it and bragged about
10:26
it. And when asked who his authority was, he says, it's doctor
10:30
Luther. He was his own authority. He set himself up as his own
10:33
God, much as the devil himself did when he were railed against God.
10:39
Maybe I'm a little harsh, but I've read left his writings to know that
10:43
was not a good Christian man in my opinion. In my opinion, and
10:48
he was once universally considered an Antichrist, one opposed to Christ by all faithful
10:54
Christians, ie Catholics and most Orthodox. But if someone picks up a King
11:00
James version or an even more modern translation, you know, with the good
11:03
News Bible that was out popular in the seventies. They're gonna have absolutely no
11:09
idea what it means. Pick up a Mormon Bible, pick up a Jehovah's
11:15
Witness Bible. They're so altered and change, you're not going to have any
11:18
idea what true what the actual Bible as written, you know, by with
11:26
the New Testament, at least written by the Catholic Church. The entire Bible,
11:31
compiled and organized by the Catholic Church, published by the Catholic Church,
11:37
hand written and copied with incredible devout intent for well over a thousand years,
11:46
and then finally made available in a more mass form, which still took a
11:50
lot of time. By Guttenberg. A Catholic, and you're basing it on
11:58
what what are you basing it on? I read the when I think I
12:00
understand it. But my understanding the Bible is different than everybody else's. But
12:03
I think I'm guided by the Holy Spirit. That's sort of the Protestant argument.
12:09
That's not my argument. I say I read the Bible in the context
12:11
not only of the words of the Bible, but in the entire Christian tradition
12:16
of Christianity, going back to day one. That's the only way you're gonna
12:22
understand the Bible. And how can you how wrong can you go? Well,
12:28
let's look at it all right, let's look at the quote they're referencing,
12:31
Matthew twenty three eight through nine. You, however, must not allow
12:35
yourselves to be called rabbi, since you have only one master and you are
12:39
all brothers. You must call no one on earth your father, since you
12:43
have only one father and he is in heaven. Nor must you allow yourselves
12:48
to be called teachers, for you have only one teacher, the Christ.
12:52
That's a pretty strong statement, right. Taken out of context, it makes
12:58
no sense on the surface. Jesus said called no one rabbi, father or
13:03
teacher. Yet consider the following biblical quotes Corinthians four fourteen through seventeen twenty.
13:09
I am writing all this not to make you a shame, but simply to
13:13
remind you, as my dear children, for even though you might have a
13:18
ten thousand slaves to look after you in Christ, you still have no more
13:20
than one father. And it was I who fathered you in Christ by the
13:24
Gospel. That is why I urge you to take me as your pattern,
13:28
and why I have sent you Timothy, a dear and faithful son to me
13:31
in the Lord, who will remind you of my principles of conduct in Christ
13:35
as I teach them everywhere, as I teach them everywhere in every church.
13:39
For the Kingdom of God consists not in spoken words, but in power.
13:45
So was Saint Paul, the author of most of the books of the New
13:48
Testament, disobeying the words of Jesus when he referred to himself as their father.
13:54
Absolutely not. And remember that the Kingdom of God exists not consistent in
14:03
spoken words, but of power. The words written down in the book,
14:09
even though it be the word of God, only have authority through the sacred
14:16
tradition of the Church he founded without Christianity, as your Protestants came to know
14:24
it through the tradition that was started from the Catholic Church. You have no
14:28
foundation to even believe the Bible. How do you know the Bible is any
14:31
more important than any other book? How do you know the God and the
14:35
Bible is the true God? You do because, for you know, fifteen
14:41
hundred years essentially, I'm just estimating fourteen hundred and some. You know,
14:46
the only church was Catholic and the Catholic Church christianized the West. And without
14:52
the Catholic Church, you not only have no Bible, you have no reason
14:56
to believe the Bible. How would you know the Bible was any more authoritative
15:00
than the Book of Mormon. Had not your parents told you, your grandparents
15:03
told them, their great grandparents told them, going all the way back to
15:07
the Apostles of Jesus, who, when they were writing these books were being
15:13
persecuted and killed and even crucified and martyred by the Jewish authorities and the Greeks
15:22
and the Romans, who said they were totally illegitimate. Were it not for
15:28
the Catholic Church, you would have to convert to Judaism to worship the One
15:33
and True God. You would only have the books of the Old Testament,
15:37
the Tour and the Talmud, and most of you probably wouldn't make the cut.
15:45
It's pretty darn hard to be a faithful Jew. Most Jews couldn't do
15:48
it. Jesus made that very clear first Thessalonians two through eleven. As you
15:58
know, we treated every one of you as a father treats his children.
16:02
There again in Thessalonians, as a father treats his children Hebrews twelve nine through
16:07
seventeen. Besides, we have all had human fathers who punished us, and
16:11
we respected them for it. All the more readily ought we to submit to
16:15
the Father of the Spirit, so to earn life. Our human fathers were
16:18
training us for a short life according to their own lights. But He does
16:22
it off for our own good, that we may share in his own holiness.
16:26
So steady, all weary hands and trembling knees, and make your crooked
16:30
paths straight. Then the injured limb would not be maimed. It will get
16:33
better. Instead, seek peace with all people, and holiness without without which
16:38
no one can ever see the Lord. Be careful that no one is deprived
16:42
of the grace of God, and that there is no root of bitterness should
16:45
begin to grow and make trouble, this can poison a large number. And
16:49
be careful that there is no immoral person or anyone worldly minded like Esaul,
16:55
who sold his birthright for a single meal. As you know, when he
16:57
wanted to obtain the blessing afterward, he was rejected, and though he pleaded
17:02
for it with tears, he could find no way of reversing the decision.
17:07
Again, here's Saint Paul referring to himself and the other apostles as fathers.
17:14
The Bible cannot disagree with itself. You cannot believe one chapter and disbelieve another
17:19
without disbelieving the entire Bible, because unless it is entirely true and inspired by
17:26
the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, it has no authority whatsoever.
17:30
And here we seem to find the Bible disagreeing with itself. And yet here's
17:36
Saint Paul saying, no division among you. Don't let people cause bitterness,
17:41
don't let me people make trouble, don't let people say. Hey, wait
17:44
a minute. Jesus said, call no man father, and yet you're calling
17:48
someone father. You must not be a real Christian. No, You're supposed
17:52
to be in unity, and you actually cannot be in unity unless you're in
17:56
unity with the one Church that Jesus founded and guaranteed against all error, the
18:03
Church that wrote the Bible, the Church threw whom you have your only knowledge
18:08
of Christianity. So what are we to think, did Saint Paul violate the
18:14
commandment of Christ? What are the ten commandments? Honor thy Father and thy
18:18
Mother. Going back to Moses, we have the commandment, honor thy father
18:22
and thy mother. Well, if Jesus said, call no man on earth,
18:26
father, how can you honor your father on earth? And he made
18:33
clear when he was talking about how the religious Jews, the Pharisees and Scribes
18:37
at the time were allowing people to violate the Law of Moses by violating the
18:44
commandment of not honoring their father, by taking property that was supposed to be
18:48
pledged to their earthly father and dedicating in some way to the temple, they
18:53
wouldn't get out of providing for their parents. He made clear that that first
19:00
commandment in the first place, was violating the commitment to honor your earthly father,
19:06
the man to whose genetics you have birth, not your father in heaven.
19:11
So is Jesus contradicting himself. Does the Bible disagree with itself? You
19:18
know, once again we see the Protestant belief in soul of scriptura undermines Christianity
19:23
itself, leaving no valid authority and nothing solid on which to believe. Because
19:30
if anybody can just pick up the Bible, pick a passage and say this
19:33
is what it says, they can get it wrong, and they do.
19:37
We have fifty thousand Protestant denominations, each of which disagree with each other,
19:41
and all of whom disagree with the Catholic Church. Only one can be right,
19:47
because there's only one truth. Do you think maybe it might be the
19:49
church that Jesus found it, that stood for fifteen hundred years or so before
19:53
any other church on earth was founded. Or is it somebody who calls himself
19:59
a possible bob who sat up at a set up at a storefront down the
20:03
street, who's out there screaming at people about hell, fire and damnation.
20:07
I think I'm gonna stick with the one that actually agrees with the Bible in
20:14
context, wrote, authored it, published it, and is the shining city
20:22
set upon the hill, visible to all ages until Jesus comes again. You
20:25
see, only one church was there two thousand or so years ago. Only
20:30
one human institution has stood that long, and only one church will be standing
20:34
when Jesus comes again. Because a house build upon sand cannot stand, a
20:41
house built upon stone will endure, Jesus said Saint Peter. Though at the
20:48
rock I will upun you. I'll build my church, and the gates of
20:51
hell shall not prevail against it. Jesus elevated us from the role of slave
20:57
and made us cos his brothers and sisters. We can use the brains God
21:03
gave us to reason. Only with reason and prayer can we understand the Bible.
21:08
But even that is not enough. Remember what the Ethiopian Acts six said
21:14
in reference to baptism. The Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying,
21:18
set out at noon and go along the road that leads that leads from
21:22
Jerusalem down to Gaza, the desert road. So he set off in his
21:25
journey. Now, an Ethiopian had been on pilgrimage to Jerusalem. He was
21:29
a eunuch and an officer at the court of the Kandac I don't know how
21:33
to pronounce it, or Queen of Ethiopia. He was her chief treasurer.
21:37
He was now on his way home, and as he sat in the chariot,
21:40
he was reading the prophet Isaiah. The Spirit said to Philip, go
21:42
up and join the chariot. When Philip ran up, he heard him reading
21:45
Isaiah the Prophet and ask him, do you understand what you were reading?
21:49
He replied, how could I unless someone guide me. So he urged Philip
21:55
get in and sit by his side. Now the passengers passengers. Sure he's
22:00
reading was this like a lamb led to the slaughterhouse, like a sheep dumb
22:04
in front of its shearers. He never opens his mouth in his humiliation,
22:08
fair judgment was denied him. Who will ever talk about his descendants? Since
22:12
his life on earth has been cut short? The Unuch address Philip and said,
22:15
tell me, is the prophet referring to himself or someone else? Starting
22:21
therefore, with this text of scripture, Philip proceeded to explain the good news
22:25
of Jesus to him, without sacred tradition, without the teachings of the apostles
22:33
to those who followed them, who passed it onto those who followed them,
22:37
who passed it onto those who followed them. You cannot just open the Bible
22:41
and understand it. The Bible doesn't say you can. The Bible says,
22:52
I believe it's the gospel. John will have to double check. All that
22:56
is written here is so that you may believe in Jesus. Lord Jesus did
23:00
many other things, he said, many other things, and all that would
23:04
feel more books than could feel the earth. What is written here is just
23:07
for your belief, And Saint Paul says, hold fast to the Church,
23:11
which is the pillar and foundation of the truth. Nowhere in the Bible does
23:15
the Bible say the Bible owner is the sole authority. It says it's good
23:19
for instruction. But here, right here, in the Bible, it's very
23:23
clear you can't understand it unless you have a spiritual father to explain it to
23:32
you and to guide you, someone more rooted in wisdom. Probably no coincidence
23:40
that one of the books that Martin Luther had cut out of the Bible is
23:44
the Book of Wisdom. Yeah, you might want to read that book.
23:48
Actually, you might want to actually see that and see what all Christians believed
23:52
until one very vain and evil man cut it out of the Bible, what
23:59
the Church is traditionally believed and yes, even taught about the subject. It's
24:03
very reasonable. No, Saint Paul did not violate the teachings of Christ.
24:07
Nor did Jesus violate his own word when he instructed his disciples to teach all
24:12
nations, thus making them teachers. Remember, he said call an no man,
24:18
rabbi, father, or teacher, and yet he tells him to go
24:21
teach all nations. A teacher is not a title, it's a role.
24:26
If one teaches, he becomes a teacher. There is no logical way of
24:30
making sense of what Jesus said unless you realize, unless you understand it in
24:36
context. And yet Protestants will say, call no man father. And yet
24:40
they call their own father father or daddy, or papa or papa, or
24:44
any word that means the exact same thing. And they certainly go to school
24:48
and have teachers. And they never said, wait a minute, you can't
24:51
call yourself a teacher. Jesus said, call no man teacher. And they
24:55
don't run up to Jesus and say, don't call yourself a rabbi. Jesus
24:57
said, call no man rabbi. Come on, y'all, this is ridiculous.
25:03
He also did not correct the people who called him rabbi. The words
25:07
teacher, rabbi, and father are roles that are fulfilled by a person.
25:11
If you're a teacher, If you teach, you're a teacher. If you
25:15
send your child to school, they're taught by teachers. A Jewish religious teacher
25:18
and efficient is a rabbi. One who contributes his DNA to the creation of
25:22
a child is a father. The same as true in any language. You
25:26
can call your earthly father by any name that is of that role, like
25:33
I said, father, pop, daddy, Papa, pair, padre,
25:38
vader if you're German whatever. Jesus was speaking Aramaic, and his words were
25:44
written in Greek by Saint Matthew the language, and then translated into Latin by
25:52
Saint Jerome, and then finally into English. And the people say, called
25:56
no man father. They say no, you know he could have just usually
26:00
say no, call no man daddy. What are you going to call your
26:03
earthly progenitor, the man who through whom you are given birth, given existence?
26:14
You have to give him a title because he has a role, and
26:17
if you don't, you're actually violating the Ten Commandments honor your father and your
26:21
mother. If you refuse to give the respect due to that role, you're
26:26
dishonoring your father. Simply put, it's impossible to take the words called no
26:30
man on earth father literally, because it's not the name that makes the father,
26:34
but the act of fatherhood. You could call the man who fathered you
26:37
by any term and he would still be a father. Traditionally, the Catholic
26:42
Church has taught the only thing that makes sense about this Bible passage, Jesus
26:47
meant that we should not ascribe to humans the attributes exclusive to God. During
26:52
the time of Christ, earthly kings were worshiped as God's men, were assigned
26:56
the attributes that belong to God alone. This was the very reason that the
27:00
Pharisees and other Jews of religious authority kept trying to trick Jesus into speaking against
27:06
Caesar. The words of Caesar were absolute and the highest authority, you know,
27:11
much like when King Henry the Eighth declared himself the head of the Church
27:14
of England based solely on his earthly authority as the King of England, nothing
27:18
God given but his own British arrogance and evil. He was a very evil
27:26
man. I don't think anyone could look at the life of King Henry the
27:29
Eighth, the murderer, an adulterer, etc. A genocidal maniac and think
27:34
he was anything but evil. And yet you know that King James version,
27:38
that's the version of the Anglican Church. Who was that was founded by King
27:42
Henry? So maybe you want to think again when you hold up the King
27:47
James version as the authorized version. Yeah, it was authorized by a genocidal,
27:52
murderous, adulterous, drunken maniac. The Romans demanded the authority of Caesar
27:59
was higher than any other, even God. To publicly contradict Caesar meant execution.
28:04
Our Lord was simply making the point that no human authority had authority higher
28:10
than God. All fathers on earth who act as fathers that means protecting,
28:15
providing, loving, and teaching their children receive their authority and due respect from
28:21
our Father in Heaven. The honor due to them is commanded in the Ten
28:25
Commandments and is a teaching of a very important relationship. When Saint Paul says
28:30
that the Christians he taught and loved to whom he provided the sacraments, rightly
28:33
called him father, it is because he acted as a spiritual father to them.
28:40
Every priests acts just as Saint Paul did to his congregation. Every priest
28:44
continues the mission of the apostles by Jesus to teach, forgive sins, heal,
28:49
and to give the eucres. Every Catholic priest is rightly called father,
28:53
just as one. Saint Paul the Pope is a spiritual father to all bishops,
28:57
priests and Catholic faithful, and he is called by the most endearing form
29:00
of the word meaning father and Italian Pope, which is a variation of the
29:06
world Papa. Remember Second Timothy Chapter three. I think it's a verse sixteen
29:14
through seventeen. All scripture is inspired by God and useful for refuting error,
29:18
for guiding people's lives and teaching them to be upright. This is how someone
29:22
who has dedicated to God becomes fully equipped and rape for any good work.
29:27
Nowhereror is the Bible ensure that all who read it will understand it. To
29:32
understand the Bible, like the Ethiopian St. Pilip with Saint Philip, we
29:37
need someone to explain the more difficult passages. We need a spiritual father who
29:41
is faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church, the only institution on earth
29:45
guaranteed by Jesus, our Lord and Savior, to be guided into all truth
29:49
by the Holy Spirit and free from error. But I'm gonna say in this
29:56
instance, if you didn't take that verse called no man on earth Father out
30:03
of context, and you read along with rabbi and teacher, and then you
30:07
read a little bit ahead in the New Testament where you know Saint Paul's saying,
30:11
rightly, you call me father, and I have been a Father to
30:15
you, and you think about the Father Abraham, and you think all that,
30:22
Yeah, you can probably figure this one out on your own, if
30:25
you weren't either a complete moron or so blinded by anti Catholic bigotry that you
30:33
have to twist the words of the Bible just to try to find fault in
30:37
the Catholic Church. That's probably a little harsh, but I've been treated very
30:42
harshly on this account. I've actually had some someone get very violent towards me
30:51
over this passage, and I opened my Bible and tried to show them these
30:56
passages and they flew into a rage, which I could only consider to be
31:02
a demonic rage. And that person would other bias, be considered a very
31:07
good Baptist. There's something really not right when something like that happens. Christians,
31:19
who are called to love each other usually don't get violent when someone tries
31:26
to open their Bible and read a passage to them. So I'm going to
31:32
leave it at that, and I'm going to say, in the words of
31:33
Saint Padre Pio, pray, hope, and don't worry.
