Gun facts about a Catholic saint
- Thread starter LivingWordUnity

That's pretty darn cool. I find some tension (?) among Catholics, some who seem to be extremely pacifistic, and others who have a less extreme view of militancy and the use of force. Isn't this the Church that did the Crusades? And now guns are anathema? As is capitol punishment, wariness over mass immigration of Muslims, violence of any kind, and spanking? Seriously?
Thanks for finding this, it helps!

Luke 22:35
"And the man without a sword must sell his coat and buy one."
"And the man without a sword must sell his coat and buy one."
Hello LivingWordUnity,
Christ's Apostles were packing heat at the Last Supper. Yes, the heat they were packing was swords, rather than guns, but this is only because guns had not been invented yet.
After celebrating the first Eucharist, Jesus then discusses the importance for the Apostles to bear arms to protect themselves, "And the man without a sword must sell his coat and buy one.".
I know what Pope Francis says about guns, but I am sure Pope Francis is packing heat, in the form of armed Swiss Guard and armed Italian police, almost everywhere he goes; And this is good! Jesus Commanded His Apostles to sell their coats if necessary, to arm themselves, to protect themselves.
Luke 22:34 Instructions for the Time of Crisis.
He said to them, “When I sent you forth without a money bag or a sack or sandals, were you in need of anything?” “No, nothing,” they replied. He said to them, “But now one who has a money bag should take it, and likewise a sack, and one who does not have a sword should sell his cloak and buy one. For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, namely, ‘He was counted among the wicked’; and indeed what is written about me is coming to fulfillment.” Then they said, “Lord, look, there are two swords here.” But he replied, “It is enough!”
