Shadows Of Moral Confusion

USA Today reports:

Pope John Paul says Sunday should be a day for God, not for secular diversions such as sports and entertainment.

"When Sunday loses its fundamental meaning and becomes subordinate to a secular concept of 'weekend' dominated by such things as entertainment and sport, people stay locked within a horizon so narrow that they can no longer see the heavens," the 83-year-old told Australian bishops visiting the Vatican.

He criticized the "culture of the 'here and now,' " urging church leaders to "lead men and women from the shadows of moral confusion and ambiguous thinking."

NASCAR races are held on Sunday. George Bush recently attended a Sunday race. The NFL plays on Sunday. George Bush watched the first half of the Super Bowl on a Sunday until he fell asleep. When George W. Bush was a part owner of the Texas Rangers, they rarely if ever had an off day on Sunday.

Has George W. Bush contributed to the “culture of here and now” while leading Americans, particularly the children, towards the “shadows of moral confusion and ambiguous thinking?”

Nah, instead John Kerry will just be accused of not being a good Catholic.
