Archbishop Robert J. Carlson has a message for Missouri lawmakers. You can stand for guns in churches. Or you can stand for religious liberty. But you can’t stand for both.
The leader of the Roman Catholic Church in the St. Louis region sent the message to lawmakers last week in a letter that was also signed by the other three Catholic bishops in the state: the Most Rev. James V. Johnston Jr. of Kansas City-St. Joseph, the Most Rev. W. Shawn McKnight of Jefferson City and the Most Rev. Edward M. Rice of the Springfield-Cape Girardeau diocese.

I have a message for Archbishop Robert J. Carlson, Most Rev. James V. Johnston Jr., Most Rev. W. Shawn McKnight, and Most Rev. Edward M. Rice:
First let me state that, as long as there are Muslims in the United States, I WILL be armed when I am in church.
I am a former deputy sheriff, a former police officer, a licensed concealed weapons carrier, a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus, and, possibly, a former Catholic!
Your choice! |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
