That is so astoundingly far removed from anything that even resembles Catholicism that I am speechless.

Do I have a God given right to dislike people who abuse illegal drugs and suggest that mentally ill adolescents do the same?

I agree with you, Sigismund. But remember, this IS roscoe we're talking about...

Nadie,

I understand why you objected to being characterized as a racist in the exchange you described. It was silly of the principal to do so. Are you saying that there is nothing that can be accurately described as racism out there. If I hate you because you are Latino, or black, or white or Asian or whatever, why isn't that racist?

Do you think not wanting to sit through a Spanish sermon is necessarily racist?

Not necessarily racist, no. I would not particularly want to sit through a sermon in a foreign language. I have, though, when I have attended Mass in other countries. My desire to receive the Sacrament, and my respect for my Sunday obligation, easily won out.

I am not disturbed that these people preferred to hear a sermon in their own language. I am disturbed that they walked out in disgust. I am disturbed that they were not sufficiently concerned about their fellow Catholics who could not understand the sermon in English to offer up this very small sacrifice for their good and spiritual instruction.

If someone calls me a racist...I ask them why they are calling me a racist. If they can't give me a good reason...then I look at them and say "your just saying that because I am white"
