“I think it's almost necessary for most people to have the freedom to pull back, and then re-enter at an adult level, where they are neither playing the victim nor creating victims, but just participating in calm, adult behavior. Because an awful lot of churches just aren't there at adult Christianity, this seems to be the norm anymore.” PeopleThinkingSeemsChurchLevelsChristianityBehaviorCreatingAdultsVictimCalmAwfulNormParticipating Author:Richard Rohr
“The term revolution means: a sudden, radical, and complete change from the way things are normally done. I love that definition because I really feel that in order for us to start walking in the kind of love that Christ commanded us to - the "love your neighbor as yourself" kind - it's going to take a radical change in our current behavior. The church has become passive and selfish and it's going to take a revolution to get us back to the place where we are not just talking the talk, but walking in a love that shows the world Christ's love.” WorldWayFeelsKindMeanDoneShowsOrderTermChristChurchTalkingLove YouRevolutionWalkingBehaviorDefinitionsCurrentsNeighborSelfishRadicalPassiveKinds Of LoveRadical ChangeLove Your NeighborLove Your Neighbor As Yourself Author:Joyce Meyer
“As a Catholic, you can have two views on capital punishment. You can think, let Caesar do what Caesar needs to do, and the law says you can impose capital punishment, so you impose it. You can [also] be a Catholic who says we can't kill, we can't kill babies and we can't kill adults. If you let a decision be driven by your personal views, then you are not doing what a judge needs to do, which is enforce the laws of the society that you are in. But you can control your own behavior, and that is the choice that the church and God gives us - what kind of people are we going to be.” PeopleIfsThinkingNeedsGivingKindTwoLawChoicesChurchDecisionViewsJudgingBabyBehaviorAdultsCatholicDrivenPunishmentCapital PunishmentPersonal Views Author:Sonia Sotomayor
