Years ago I attended a service w/ a Catholic priest who had Catholics apologize to non-Catholics for historical wrongs committed by the Church. I found it very moving & have been proud to do something similar regarding blacks & Native Americans in America. Nothing silly about it.

You want me to apologize to people that I never harmed in any way? You can't be taken seriously.
Replying to @marwilliamson
People are so frightened of sincerity and vulnerability that they can't think to do anything but laugh at the idea.

Not silly— that’s too kind a word. Let’s try divisive, ridiculous, dangerous and crazy . No one should apologize for how God made them. For you to use his name in vain to lead a congregation is blasphemy . Take your cult elsewhere, America doesn’t need you nor want you . #church

It was pathetic pandering and I’m sure felt the black church members in attendance feel awkward. But who cares about them, right? It’s all about the virtue signal, after all. It’s a shame, bc I thought you did rather well at the first debate.

Keep it up and please talk about reparations in the upcoming debate as none of the other candidates seem to care

Ridiculous. We are not responsible for the actions of persons who lived hundreds of years ago. Why don’t you go where slavery still exists, like Africa?
Replying to @marwilliamson
I apologize to people I hurt. I don’t offer sham apologies on behalf of people I never knew.

I am Catholic. Jesus, the founder of our church, I believe what he preaches esp in Matt Chps 5-7, The Sermon on the Mount. I do not read that we must apologize for our ancestors wrongs. I read, what we, each of us, must do to be a good Christian. 🥰✝️

I find it completely ignorant and insulting.
