A Sign of Contradiction

"So when Christians stand by their beliefs, they are intolerant dogmatists. When they sin, they are hypocrites. When they take the side of the poor, they are soft-headed liberals. When they seek to defend the family, they are right-wing reactionaries." Cardinal Cormac Murphy- O'Connor

The prophet Simeon said of Jesus that he was to be a sign of contradiction...and we as his followers, walking in his steps, standing for his truths, by pointing out his message, clearly cannot be what the world wants us to be if what the world wants is against the truths that he taught. Christianity isn't right wing or left wing. Christianity is for Christ, and if that goes against the current flows, we too should be seen as contradicting those flows.

Tody's world is a place where that is particularly noticable.
