I left a comment on your page about New Life. church.

We're cool Joe. 

You were saying 'your' and making specific references, saying 'they told me to leave', etc.  So I thought you'd gone to my Church!

But our priests would never say those things.  I know they would welcome questions but we don't 'have positions' on the things you mention.  Their answer to all would be, 'We follow the Magisterium of the Holy Roman Catholic Church', and they'd offer to instruct you.  It's quite complex.

I wish you well on your search Joe.

Kathy, I have never heard of or mentioned 'St. Rose Philippine Duchesne'---sorry for the confusion.

I want to be sure I'm understanding you Joe.  You went to my Church-St. Rose Philippine Duchesne in KCK-and you asked the questions you stated below.  After you asked them, they refused to answer you, then asked you to leave the Church?

With which priest did you speak?  Fr. Fongemie or Fr. Nolan?  When did this take place?

Thanks Greg Beal...  I have actually tried 3 others since April.  LifePointe, Wornall Rd Baptist, and another one that the escapes me, I must have missed your previous message--cuz I respond to all private messages.  More times than not, I miss public social media posts.  But thank you.

 

Kathy Brown, Esq.---its awesome you have a church to call home. Feel free to blame me, if you like.  But with the greatest of respect---they asked me to leave---not vice versa.   And 'questions' are not remotely 'requirements.'  Its not like they gave 'a wrong answer' ---NONE of these guys gave ANY answer---they refused to answer...then suggested I go elsewhere  Hand to God.  That is creepy.

I simply & respectfully asked each:  "What is your public position & how do you advise your congregations with respect to the now non-stop attacks on Christianity--- the removal of our Ten Commandments, the removal of our Crosses here and restrictions on public prayer, right here in the USA---and on a global basis with respect to the persecution & murder of Christians."

 

If standing for God's Laws over Man's Laws is the problem...  the problem is not mine.  AND If your church will not allow questions.... it's not really a church.

And the point here is not my denial---the point is that we actually have places that claim to be houses of God---that are turning people away.

 

A real churches does not turn people away...(the only possible exception is if I were an 'armed' violent felon on drugs.  FYI---I'm not.

 

BTW, 1 John 4:1 says: Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Joe, I can't imagine why you're having such a problem.  There are tons of churches here in KC!  In fact, they're all over you the minute you even set a foot inside one!

But you can't approach them by spelling out your 'ideology', then seeing if they pass the 'test'.  I mean, no Church will stand for that.  And if you've had so many turn you away, doesn't that show you that your 'ideology'/manner, is likely the problem?

I mean it's not as if they're all in a conspiracy v. you or something.  OK?  And KC is a very 'praying' town. 

You could certainly come to my Church if you liked!  But I must say, you can't give your requirements to our holy priests!  Oh, no!  They're very kind, but it's WE who have to conform to CHRIST, not vice-versa.

On April 25, I suggested a church that might be of interest to you. What have you done about it? You might also like Calvary Community Church at 6345 Floyd in O.P. 10:45 AM Sunday.
