Letter to the editor: What would Jesus think of all these clearances?
The Catholic church requires clearances to do anything short of attending Mass. What would Jesus think?
My church welcomes people in, and if they want to do anything, a packet is given to them of things to do to protect children. This packet includes an FBI fingerprint-based criminal history background check, a child abuse history clearance, a Pennsylvania criminal history record check and a form needed to be notarized and returned to the church.
Is this what Jesus wants of his disciples? As a church, we are decaying from within and appear to be elitist.
A single person can be in charge of an event to keep an eye on things, not 100 people working to keep the parish doors open.
As our leader, I ask Bishop Larry Kulick, how can we do God’s will?
In America, one is innocent until proven guilty.
In the Catholic church, one must prove his holiness before entering
