[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We attended Mass locally on Saturday night and then I randomly came across my hometown church’s Sunday morning Mass stream on Facebook. The churches are over 500 miles away from each other had the same reading. And both homilies were on the same vein, although my hometown church’s priest had a much more aggressive posture.

The reading was a passage about not feeding people who don’t work. Then the priests went deeper later into why charity has its limits, you shouldn’t feed the idle, and how destructive idleness and out of wedlock births are.

Is this all purely coincidental with what’s been going on in the news and social media and federal budget and shutdown? I can’t remember ever hearing such posture at church. Of all the things going on in the world, this struck me as really weird — especially the timing.[/quote]

While there's nothing weird about the timing (as you say, the reading was the same) the interpretation certainly is weird, but I fear pretty ordinary for Catholic Churches, these days.[/quote]
