And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. —St. Paul (Romans 12:2)
I wonder what Paul would have said about the recent “Beyonce Mass” at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, where 900 people showed up to attend mass with a liturgy “using the music and social philosophy” of that noted sage and pop star and “female-centric interpretations of the Bible,” blah-blah (https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Grace-Cathedral-s-Beyonce-Mass-draws-faithful-12865544.php).
The, er, “church” is proud of its “contemporary culture-themed ministry.” Is this, like, the worst idea that anybody ever had? To conform your church to this world, the untended dumpster of 2018’s pop culture? Yeah, well, it’s one way of fighting “heterosexual aggression,” they say.
Leftids have no concept of the holy, unless you want to think of politics and fomenting culture rot as holy. Imagine needing Jesus Christ and having to settle for Beyonce. If you can think of anything worse than that, don’t let me know.
Liberals always say conservatives mix their religion with their politics and can’t tell the two apart anymore. As is the case 100% of the time, this is projection. You can’t go into a liberal church and find anything transcendent. Only abortion, feminism, race-obsession, far-left politics, and all the rest of the junk and debris of this benighted age. They do what they accuse “the Christian Right” (whoever that may be) of doing; and they do it all the time. They can’t not do it.
They have no king but Caesar.
I can’t even comment on this trash without offending somebody, so…
Erlene, I can’t imagine who you could possibly offend that visits here at Lee’s Place. The offenders are the ones in the article. Dear Lord, please remember we do not consent!
Why do people so fixate on one person? Entertainers, sports figures, etc, are mere humans like the rest of us.
It’s in our nature to worship something, and if it’s not God then it’s someone else.
In fact, they prefer that it NOT be God. That would convict them.
This is so sad to read. These lost sheep. All caught up with a singer who in reality can’t do much for them other than take their money for buying her music and thank them for following her. She can’t save their souls, watch over them always, and lead them as The True Good Shepherd. Grace Cathedral congregants need the grace that leads to repentance and salvation. Let’s keep them in prayer.
In the 1960’s the false idol was Bob Dylan until he became a Christian and put out three Christian LPs, After three years he stopped making Christian albums saying, Jesus only had a three year ministry so why shouldn’t he. Dylan later backslid. Recently he changed the lyrics of one of his love songs to be about man to man love – yuck.
Psalm 146:3 “Do not put your trust in human beings, who cannot save.”
