Start L was all but thrown ouit of the Catholic Store in DC today
There is a very large "Catholic" store in DC about 4 blocks from
the White House. I wanted to get several cards to mark
Jesus birthday and went in this afternoon, and a gift for Connie.
As I entered this shop, probably 10 customers were in the store.
It was quiet, "pious," as you can imagine.
An agitated late 20ish store clerk went bustling from his counter
at my left, in front of me, hurriedly to a man who also was walking
in, behind me at my right. "YOU, YOU can't be in here! Out!
OUT!" I glanced at this man, roughly my age, bundled in one of
those emergency shelter blankets, scruffy, obviously a street
person. "And you call this a 'Catholic Shop?'" I asked the clerk
firmly, but not unkindly or disrespectfully. He responded not
inappropriately, and a bit contritely, "He vandalizes things when
he comes in the store." "Well, I can understand that you can't
have that, but he should be treated with the respect due EVERY
human none the less."
"Are you OK," condescendingly, smarmily came the question from
an early 30ish, very handsome, oily black haired, Wall Street banker
suited guy I immediately judged to be the store manger / corporate
manger. I stood looking somewhat blankly at his insincerity, that he
might see it as well; giving him the chance to reconsider his dirty
approach and profoundly Anti-Christlike attitudes and prejudices.
"Are you OK?" came the question again; and he weakly extended
his hand for a handshake. As I took his totally tepid handshake
I said, "Yes, I am OK. But I don't think you are really concerned
whether I am OK." It was obvious that he immediately judged
that this guy in a US Flag hat and scarf, camouflage coat, plastic
bags and saddles on feet was yet another "bum" psycho trash
to be thrown out of his Catholic Shop.
He slithered away. For a moment I returned my eyes to the rack
of cards with Jesus on them, and then thought to glance at him
as he walked toward his office. He was in full sneer at an associate
indicating sooooooooo unmistakable, "Can you believe that
wierdo trash joke I just spoke to?"
I had caught his eye again by glancing his way.
"Are you associated with what here calls itself a 'Catholic Shop?'"
I asked across the store, respectfully. "Yes," he replied.
Having given him this last chance to see his Evil, I went and bought
my cards at Barnes and Nobel.
When at a long BN cahier's isle it was my turn, from about
4 registers down a mid 20's, very attractive clerk sang out
"May I help you sir!" looking squarely at me with a smile that may
eclipse fossil fuel as a risk for melting the glaciers. And every other
clerk was as nice and respectful, kind, genuine and WARM!!!
God save us from the Christians, and ESPECIALLY the God Damn
Pedophile Papists Perverts.
There is far less "room at the Inn" today than in Jesus day.

ps: As I left BN I thanked them for their kindness and gave them

Friends, something exquisite just happened to me. Start
Hi.
About a month ago in the Park I was on post and a woman with a few
grandchildren approached. We spoke for a while, and sadly I don't
remember the particulars - but my focus is always the same -
the Vigil, Thomas founding it, it continuing with Connie and now my
help, anti-nuclear, climate protection and repair, Palestine....
that we do this out of Love for our global human family, that Waging
Love with greater ferocity, and greater numbers than the world
has waged death is our entire hope; that there is no other ....
I could tell she was deeply moved.
At the end, I asked where she was from - Connecticut she said, and
then mentioned that she is the wife of William Sloan Coffin. If you
don't know, and I did, William was Chaplin at Yale during the Vietnam
era and one of the most eloquent, first, most courageous, outspoken opponents
of that horrible, horrible, horrible war. A book that Ellen and Thomas
connected me with that I've excerpted here was my exposure to his
sublime Soul and writings - his essay is excerpted here:
Militant Non-Violence, William Sloane Coffin
I said that reading more of his work was high on
my list. I mentioned that I'd searched for more of
his work at the DC Libraries, but they had none. She said she would
like to send me one of his books. We spoke a few more words and then
she left (forgetting to get my address.) I let it go.
10 minutes later she was back - "I forgot to get your address."
Last week a copy of William's "Credo" arrived. Only just now did I
have a moment to begin leafing through. The first chapter is
entitled "Faith, Hope, Love." On the first page of this chapter she
had written a note: "* THIS IS FOR YOU!" Here is what she
had marked, of William's writings (and now I weep):
"Socrates had it wrong: it is not the unexamined but finally the uncommitted life
that is not worth living. Descartes too was mistaken; "Cogito ergo sum" - "I think
therefore I am"? Nonsense. "Amo ergo sum" - "I love therefore I am." Or. as with
unconscious eloquence St. Paul wrote, "Now abide faith, hope, love, these three;
and the greatest of these is love." I believe that. I believe it is better not to live
than not to love." William Sloan Coffin, by way of his wife Randy.

"Church:" The nail that kills Jesus, again, and again....
Imagine what would happen to the Marines if EXACTLY as the
"Church" was perverted to mean not PEOPLE of a specific
Character, Commitment, Competence, but mere buildings and property...
imagine the Marines were convinced of the same - that Camp Lejeune
IS the Marines. That a Marine is therefore SIMPLY someone who
"attends" and "pays dues" at Camp Lejeune. This would be
the killing of the military!!!!
This is EXACTLY what the Christ killers pulled off 1800 years ago,
and every day since. THESE are the Christ-killers:
"Church" is the Chirst-killer as defined this way.
"Christian" is the Christ-killer defined this way.
And these may be in the final stages of killing
all of Humanity.
It may be too late to Save us.

Those who have ears must hear."
