Deacon Greg comments on it saying near the end:
But I’m left to wonder just what the city of Houston intends to do with those sermons it has subpoenaed, and what sort of evidence it believes they contain. “Look! He’s preaching Christ crucified! Outrageous!”
Yeah. So?
Maybe government authorities feel those sermons—which, one way or another, inevitably point to the cross—are supporting activity that is somehow criminal; maybe they fear they are stirring up political opposition to something the preachers feel is immoral or unjust. If that’s the case, well, Houston, we have a problem. The last time I checked, speech in America is still free. So is religion.
Any effort to thwart or inhibit that is tiptoeing perilously close to tyranny.
The Deacon must be unaware that a Catholic priest was arrested and charged with violating the Hate Speech law in Canada a few years ago, because he read aloud from the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
As I said in a post last month:
Without "the design established by the Creator," there are no human rights.
