Stupid Bishop Tricks

Barron is at it again. Not his 'Dare we hope?' crap again, but that God 'fired' Elias because he didn't respect the religious liberty of the idol worshippers.

From The American Catholic

By Donald R. McClarey, JD

And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word.

1 Kings 18: 21

 

 

 

Elijah fired because he had the prophets of Baal executed after they lost the battle of the Gods on Mount Carmel?  The same Elijah who communed with Jesus during the Transfiguration?  Of course there is not a scintilla of evidence to support this absurdity in the Old Testament account.  Bishop Barron always struck me as an intellectual light weight, with some talent as a popularizer, but this goes well beyond being wrong into the territory of simply lying in order to engage in obeisance to twenty-first century fake pieties.  There are many ways to offer a pinch of incense to false gods and manipulating Scripture to serve current intellectual prejudices is one of them.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
