Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
Each day, it seems the world becomes more troubled. The Christian message is one of love and humility, and if all people would simply love as the Gospel calls us to do, there would be world peace in a matter of days. Yet there is a perplexing verse in scripture that seems to belie the promise of peace, uniformity and inclusion which the Gospels convey. Jesus said, “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” (Mt 10:34)
In the 1950s, if you were "hip," you were "cool" because you could "dig it." In the 1960s, what was cool became "groovy." In the 1970s, if something was cool, it was "radical." But in today's vernacular, "radical" is often seen as politically incorrect.
