It was decided some decades ago that no one must ever feel uncomfortable, guilty, or, worst of all, judged. They especially must not feel this way at church. Church is a place where all must be welcome, we’re told.
One of the most popular songs played at Catholic churches is called “All Are Welcome.” Sample lyric: “Let us build a house where love can dwell… Built of hopes and dreams and visions.” I’m not making that up, by the way. It’s so bad that it makes the choirs of angels weep and throw down their harps in despair. But it drives home the point, anyway. This is a place for hopes and dreams and visions, not repentance and prayer and reverence.
