wellonce again,
it is time to correct this dear so called 'Bishop" on his erroneous understanding of Scripture.

I suppose HE has never read or heard about RIGHTEOUS ANGER.

There are plenty of examples of it throughout the Bible and even the LORD HIMSELF talked about it..

There are RIGHT THINGS to be ANGRY about especially if they go against GOD's WORD and INSTRUCTIONS found in scripture.

A RENEGADE thieving and lying President falls into the category of people being righteously upset or angry toward.
It's called "Righteous Indignation" which basically means that We are correct and view something the same way GOD sees it.

Leaders are to be held at a much higher level of accountability by GOD than non-leaders. You find this in scriptures also.. Leaders in the Church as well as in Government..

SO the dear Bishop is apparently IGNORANT of Scriptural teaching and words.

My suggestion to him would be to get a GOOD BIBLE closest to the original Greek and Hebrew texts, (that would be a 1611 KING JAMES edition) and then take the time to actually READ Through it with emphasis wilth Paul's teachings on LEADERS and RULERS. Kings were Rulers in His days.. Presidents are rulers.

Now, he may feel in his conscience he should not have said that and its okay for HIM to ask God for grace and forgiveness, but to act like that is something horrible for the people to think or say is preposterous.

When someone does stupid things continuously it is fair to say that they ACT stupidly.. More specifically they are stupid..

STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES. Your actions always show what is inside of you.. So be careful what comes out of your mouth or the actions you take because they reveal what is inside you....

More people agree with the statement he is apologizing for as being factual because Biden is certainly not capable of himself in HIS CONDITION of thinking normally , which was bad enough when he could..

There are bad people in the world, and Biden has been one of them trying to pretend like he was a good guy and something he never was..

He will be shocked when he stands before God and God plays HIS life back for Him to see. ALL the bead t hings he thought were secret will be revealed and he will know nothing was nor is HIDDEN from the eyes of GOD. Everything is recorded in books on everyone. Yes there are BOOKS in Heaven and all of us have one. SO there are NO SECRETS.. God KNOWS IT ALL and SEES it ALL.

If more of us keep that in mind I wonder how much different society might be?

And yes, I admit to being far from perfect as I do get angry and mad. Most of the time Righteously but on occasion in the flesh..

SO, I wish these folks from the Church which Kept the Wors of GOD hidden from the People for centuries and only after Martin Luther had to rebel for what was right and call them out did we ever get the scriptures out to the masses for all to read what GOD actually said and not what they were told by someone who wanted to stay in power and control the people.. THOSE were the DARK AGES.

GOD is the LIGHT of The WORLD. WHEN HE is kept HIDDEN the world becomes DARK. That is why we had the DARK Ages.

SO enough of my mind running this morning.

Apologies for the length but this so called Leader in the Catholic organization need not apologize for stating
1. A FACT
2. The Truth

Catholic Bishop Apologizes for Calling President Biden 'Stupid,' Says It Was Taken Out of Context

by Brittany Shehan

On Friday, Bishop Robert Gruss of Saginaw, Michigan, apologized for his comment calling President Joe Biden "stupid" during a recent talk given earlier this month.

Bishop Gruss made the comment on April 5 during a presentation titled “Forgiveness as the Heart of Christianity.” Biden is a controversial figure within Catholicism, because of his espousal of pro-abortion and transgender ideology, which run in direct conflict with the Church's official teachings.

In his address, given at the Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption, the Bishop encouraged parishioners to practice forgiveness and not harbor negative thoughts and feelings, which he said would lead to sin. If you're harboring bad, negative, resentful feelings towards our president, you're not free. Otherwise, you're letting him control you and your thoughts and your words and your actions. And I guarantee that if he is a problem for you, then those thoughts, words, and actions are negative — they're gonna come out and then we commit sin. That's what sin is.

The Bishop continued his address, asking the audience:How many times have you confessed your anger towards the president?

This caused some of the audience members to laugh, prompting the Bishop to respond:I'm serious, I'm not kidding. If you have it, you should be confessing it. Otherwise, you're not free.

He then reflected on his own feelings and said:I don't have any anger towards the president. I feel sorry for him. I'm not angry at him, he's just stupid.

The comment elicited laughter from the audience, though the Bishop didn't partake and remained steadfast in his statements while elaborating:It's not stupidity in the derogatory way, it's stupidity in the sense of [...] he doesn't understand the Catholic faith.

Following the incident, the Saginaw Diocese, situated in the central part of Michigan, shared a statement from Bishop Gruss with Catholic News Agency, where he expressed that his remarks were taken out of context.

Bishop Gruss said:I was speaking in the context of forgiving the president and any people in government who offend us by their words and actions — that we cannot harbor resentment toward them because in doing so, it would be sinful. We must forgive them if we are to be free.

Bishop Gruss apologized while saying that his intention was not to be disparaging. He said:I used the word ‘stupid’ in reference to President Biden, recognizing that it was poor judgment in my choice of words. It was not meant to be disparaging, and I apologize.

He said that he will continue to pray for Biden and other political leaders, and urged people of all faiths to join in prayers for the nation. Bishop Gruss said: I will continue to pray for the president and all political leaders, that they may seek and be guided by the Spirit of Truth encourage people of all faiths and goodwill to pray for our great nation.

In March, Cardinal Wilton Gregory, the Archbishop of Washington, D.C., spoke about Biden during an appearance on CBS News' "Face the Nation," where he described him as a "cafeteria Catholic," saying:I would say that he's very sincere about his faith. But like a number of Catholics, he picks and chooses dimensions of the faith to highlight while ignoring or even contradicting other parts. There is a phrase that we have used in the past, a 'cafeteria Catholic,' you choose that which is attractive, and dismiss that which is challenging.

In 2022, Pope Francis used the word "incoherence" to describe Biden's conflict with his abortion stance and the Church's pro-life teachings, saying:I leave it to [President Biden's] conscience and that he speaks to his bishop, his pastor, his parish priest about that incoherence.

Bishop Gruss encouraged individuals to watch the full talk that he gave on the subject of forgiveness, to better understand the context of his remarks.
