Catholics - dealing with the REALLY big issues
Whew! It’s been, what… like a gazillion years (or at least a couple hundred according to our friends at the Creation Museum) since Moses (or a guy that looked like Charlton Heston) came down from Mount Sinai with the Ten Commandments. It’s about time for Christianity to get an update.
Thank God the Vatican announced today it’s Ten Commandments for Driving!
- 1. You shall not kill.
- 2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
- 3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
- 4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.
- 5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
- 6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
- 7. Support the families of accident victims.
- 8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
- 9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
- 10. Feel responsible toward others.
As always, the church is right on the cutting edge of issues that challenge our daily morality. I’m so glad they’ve not been side-tracked by vanity issues such as homosexuality, birth control, women priests, marriage for priests, or sexual abuse scandals and the like.
No video is available on who actually delivered this new list of commandments to the faithful, but rumor has it that it may have been Ricky Bobby (or a guy who looks like Will Farrell).
