Because most people do not feel it does much good. It's a rare bishop that takes the complaints of the laity seriously. That's been my observation since being in the Church.

Precisely! I've complained to our bishop once and the outcome was not a good one for my family.

She was invited by the St. Peter's to read the prayer at their multi-faith prayer service. Now that is exactly what Thanksgiving is all about! Folks from different faiths coming together to express gratitude. Beautiful! According to the link there were more than 2 dozens other members of Congress there along with her, Speaker Pelosi, others of faith. Thanks for bringing such sweet news to my attn., OP! This story made me happy.



Ya swing with it baby. Anything goes as long as you include the word folks in it. This make everything folksie and hunky Dory. We should have invited Poly throuplet folks to the “multi faith prayer service”

I've read my history books. I haven't repurposed anything. I've also read my Bible. :)

You object to my characterization of folks coming together in unity to give thanksgiving as not being the true motive of Thanksgiving? :) Lol. Suit yourself. God bless your heart. God bless the heart of everyone in this thread.

You've missed the point. The purpose of the first Thanksgiving was to thank God alone. not God and other assorted deities, but God alone, who brought the members of that first colony through a terrible Winter where more than half the colony died due to exposure and starvation.
the Indians thanked God because the Pilgrims did not come to kill them, as a rival tribe would have done in the same situation. So they too were grateful for surviving.

And yes, by God's grace that was where the first efforts to reach the native Americans for Christ was started.

Are you american and then christian or vica verca?
I am Catholic, and I am a citizen of Heaven. That comes first because it is eternal.
All other citizenships on Earth are only temporary.

Clearly the Catholic church that invited her on Thanksgiving to give the prayer disagrees. Folks on an internet forum can just get as ticked off as they feel the need to be over that. Shrugs.

Yes, we can. But it's up to her Bishop to do something about that situation.

The church should never have allow this to happen. Between this and Pachamama, I don't know what's going on with our Church.
