Dear Friends,
The events of last weekend in Charlottesville, Virginiaexpose a dangerous current of hate in our country. For along while now the “other” is seen as an enemy. This isevident from the White Supremacists to the halls ofgovernment. If you are not on my side, goes the mantra,you are evil. As a friend posted on FB in a satirical post,“To the extreme right and the extreme left (or the extremeup and the extreme down, or the extreme center: all of usthat come to entertain the idea that ideas are morevaluable than persons): "We should therefore claim, in thename of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.”-Karl Popper.
Herman Cain (also posted on Facebook) posted: “If yousaw much of the footage from yesterday, you probablysaw some of the counter protesters holding up signs thatsay "Hate has no home here." That seems like a worthysentiment. But there's more to it than meets the eye…They want you to know that they are virtuous people whodo not hate.
Well. That's a relief. No one should hate. But there's alsoan implication in the sign, which is that people who dohate are all over the place, and that the owner of the signdisapproves of these haters…While the sign presumes tosay something about you, it's really you saying somethingabout other people. It's you presuming to assert your ownmoral superiority by pointing your finger at others youdeem to be haters, and then letting everyone else knowthat you are more virtuous than them. "See those haters?I am not like those people. I am better than them."
Everyone involved in yesterday's violence had this incommon, (…) they were mad at someone else, or blamedsomeone else for their problems, or ascribed evil motivesto someone else. And everyone who showed upyesterday was looking for a fight. This has become alynchpin of both our political and social culture.
This is utter madness, and it's a direct result of ourculture's rejection of God.
God's love as taught to us by Jesus Christ doesn't requireus all to agree with each other, but it does require us tolove each other as human beings rather than assumingthat because you disagree you must be evil or a hater. It'sso obvious that you shouldn't hate another personbecause of what they look like; it shouldn't even need tobe said. That's what makes these white supremacists somind-bogglingly repulsive. But you also shouldn't runaround calling other people bigoted or sexist or whateverelse because you are convinced of certain things, andthey are not convinced.
This is what happens when society rejects God, andthinks it can figure out on its own how love should work.You can't do that. Continues on next column
From the Pastor’s Desk
Continuation of Fr. Lee’s letter
You start making your own rules and, pretty soon,you're going to war against people who made otherrules that are different from your own. Charlottesvilleis a direct result of this. Until we turn back to God,we're going to get a lot more of this, and it's going toget a lot worse.”
The answer to all the injustice of the world is JesusChrist Crucified. He died because of all this injusticeand sin to heal it by His Blood. Mercy is the first word;on me and on you. Only united to Him, in His Crosswill there be a change. Fr. Lee

Queridos amigos,
Los acontecimientos del pasado fin de semana enCharlottesville, Virginia, exponen una peligrosa corrientede odio en nuestro país. Durante mucho tiempo ahora el"otro" es visto como un enemigo. Esto es evidente de lossupremacistas blancos a las salas de gobierno. Si noestás de mi lado, va el mantra, estás mal. Como unamigo en FB en un post satírico dijo, "a la extremaderecha y la extrema izquierda (o el extremo para arribay el extremo hacia abajo o el centro extremo: todos losque vienen a entretener la idea de que las ideas sonmás valiosas que las personas):"Debemos por lo tantodeclarar, en nombre de la tolerancia, el derecho a notolerar a los intolerantes." -Karl Popper.Herman Cain (también publicado en Facebook) posteo:"Si ha visto muchas de las imágenes de ayer, ustedprobablemente vio algunos de los contra manifestantessosteniendo carteles que dicen “El odio no tiene hogaraquí." Parece ser un sentimiento digno. Pero hayalgomás de lo que parece... Quieren que sepan que songente virtuosa que no odia.Vaya. ¡Es un alivio! Nadie debe odiar. Pero también hayuna implicación en el cartel, es que las personas queodian están por todo lugar, y que el dueño del carteldesaprueba de estos que odian... Mientras que el cartelsupone decir algo acerca de usted, es realmente ustedquien dice algo sobre otras personas. Está ustedsuponiendo que para hacer valer su propia superioridadmoral por señalar con el dedo a otros quien ustedconsidera personas que odian, y luego dejar que todo elmundo sepa que es más virtuosa que ellos. ¿«Ven aesos que odian? Yo no soy como esas personas. Yo soymejor que ellos».Todos los involucrados en la violencia de ayer teníanesto en común, (...) estaban enojados con alguien, oculpan a alguien por sus problemas o atribuyen motivosmalos a otras personas. Y todos los que se presentaronayer estaban buscando una pelea. Esto se ha convertidoen una piedra angular de nuestra cultura política y social.Esto es una locura absoluta, y es un resultado directodel rechazo de Dios de parte de nuestra cultura.El amor de Dios, como nos es enseñado por JesúsCristo, no requiere que todos nosotros estemos deacuerdo con los demás, pero nos obliga a amarnos unosa otros como seres humanos en lugar de asumir que sino estamos de acuerdo, ellos deben ser malvados opersonas que odian. Es tan obvio que no debes odiar aotra persona por su apariencia; incluso no necesitadecirse. Eso es lo que hace que estos supremacistasblancos sean tan alucinantemente repulsivos. Perotampoco debemos estar llamando a otras personasintolerantes o machista o lo que sea, porque estásconvencido de ciertas cosas, y ellos no estánconvencidos. Continúa en la próxima columna

Continuación de la carta del Padre Lee
Esto es lo que ocurre cuando la sociedad rechaza aDios y piensa que puede descifrar por cuenta cómodebería trabajar el amor. No puedes hacer eso.Comienzas a crear tus propias reglas y, muy pronto,vas a la guerra contra la gente que hizo otras normasque son diferentes de la tuya. Charlottesville esconsecuencia directa de esto. Hasta que regresemosa Dios, vamos a tener mucho más de esto, y se va aponer mucho peor."La respuesta a todas las injusticias del mundo esJesucristo crucificado. Murió a causa de esta injusticiay pecado para sanarlo por su sangre. La misericordiaes la primera palabra; en mí y en usted. Sólo unidos aÉl, en su cruz, habrá un cambio.
