You know normally I don't have much use for the blow dried preachers in those Mega-churches with thousands of congregants. They always remind me of Reverend Ike who was a processed hair pimp who had late night commercials when I was a kid. He would have the dirt poor church ladies in Bed Stuy send him nickels and dimes so he could drive a Cadillac.
Pastor John MacArthur has proven to be a real man of God. He is opening his church and having services even though the Communist government of Los Angles California is fining him $1000 a day and threatening to arrest him. In his own words:
“It has never been the prerogative of civil government to order, modify, forbid, or mandate worship,” said MacArthur and the church’s elder board in their statement. “Freedom of worship is a command of God, not a privilege granted by the state.”
Where is the Catholic Church in this battle to secure our rights to worship freely in the face of government oppression? Nowhere to be found.
I am ashamed of my Church. When this guy can go to jail and the Bishops count their money and diddle altar boys you know that we need a massive cleansing of the temple.
