Archbishop Robert J. Carlson has a message for Missouri lawmakers. You can stand for guns in churches. Or you can stand for religious liberty. But you can’t stand for both.
The leader of the Roman Catholic Church in the St. Louis region sent the message to lawmakers last week in a letter that was also signed by the other three Catholic bishops in the state: the Most Rev. James V. Johnston Jr. of Kansas City-St. Joseph, the Most Rev. W. Shawn McKnight of Jefferson City and the Most Rev. Edward M. Rice of the Springfield-Cape Girardeau diocese.

I have a message for Archbishop Robert J. Carlson, Most Rev. James V. Johnston Jr., Most Rev. W. Shawn McKnight, and Most Rev. Edward M. Rice:
First let me state that, as long as there are Muslims in the United States, I WILL be armed when I am in church.
I am a former deputy sheriff, a former police officer, a licensed concealed weapons carrier, a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus, and, possibly, a former Catholic!
Your choice! |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
