Another timely Gospel reading [View all]

Anyone else think of what a certain political party did in regards to food stamps when today's Gospel reading was presented? (I checked and it was the same at least in both the Episcopal and Catholic Churches).

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” (Luke 16:13)

I seriously doubt it made any Republican squirm in their seats given the hardness of their hearts.
