[quote=Anonymous]Believe me, his diatribe regarding dress was not a simple reminder. He went on and on and was extremely judgmental and unwelcoming. I do agree that simply mentioning his preference would have been ok but I remember him going on and on and really sounding mean-spirited. The fact is, he is not jesus nor God and therefore is not my judge or anyone's judge. I would not have been offended with him mentioning his preference with a passive comment. However, this was not the case. We should be able to "come as we are" as long as we are clean and dressed nicely…and yes, some shorts are dressy. BTW, Jesus wore a robe. Would we be criticized for wearing robes? We probably would. Why….because we have advanced too far in this society to dress that way. Well, in the same way, we have advanced to the point where shorts could be acceptable.

But it's not just that one issue. The biggest issue is that he doesn't project kindness. I don't want to restate all of my examples but I have at least 5-8. We need kindness, understanding and counsel at St. Mary's, not judgement. Even Pope Francis talks of this. [/quote]
