  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Fr. Ripperger (it sounds like him, I could be wrong) exhorts his parishoners in this homily that while "Barabbas" may be "Catholic" on paper, not to be fooled by this superficial quality. The Prodigal on the other hand, while stained with many sins, is closer to Christ in policy decisions than the Catholic "Barabbas" is.

As long as you are not likening Donald Trump to Jesus Christ. Barabbas was 'elected' in an election where the other candidate was Jesus. I hope you are NOT implying that Trump is Jesus.

So while I do not think it wrong to identify Biden with Barabbas, I think it would be a HUGE error to identify Trump with Jesus.

The video makes clear that Trump has faults, but that his agenda is closer to that of Christ than is that of "Barrabas".
