Did you hear about what's happening at a Church in the big smoke? At Easter the pulled the words Jesus Christ from songs... maybe this is a stupid question but, how can you have Easter without Jesus?
I tried reading the article in current issue of Maclean's, but after a few pages I lost track of who was talking the writer or the subject of the article.

It's pretty had not to think of this as a joke, it's even harder for me to not get on my Catholic high horse but... if the Church, the Bride of Christ, is so endanger of losing relevance with today's culture. Does it make sense to remove Christ altogether?
I understand doubt and asking the question, "Is Jesus who he says he is?"
Mother Teresa doubted for years, but she held on to her faith, and know people want her declared a saint.
Maybe it's because I have the give of faith, maybe it's because I've seen God's hand move, and I've felt God lean hard on me... but really? This ticks me off, and a like good little Christians I'll pray for this Pastor and her church, if not pray about her. But will I stand against it? or will I leave the 99 in the flock for this one?
I know every church has it's issues, every denomination has it's rogue and say what you will about the Catholic Church, but the more I go the more it just make sense to me.
Every week at Mass we pray for unity for The Church, this week that prayer will hold new meaning for me.
Get your LOUD on!
