Rev. Edward Fride of Christ the King Catholic Church sent a letter earlier this month to parishioners telling them they do not live in Mayberry.

“Pretending we are in Mayberry, while we are clearly not, can have very negative consequences for ourselves and those we love, especially those we have a responsibility to protect. If we are not in Mayberry, is there a real threat?” Fride asked.

Mayberry is as fictional town portrayed on the Andy Griffith Show. The 1960s television show “was popular because it showed a kind of life that everybody wished were true, no threats, everything is fine, everybody’s perfectly safe, etc.,” Fride writes in the letter.


“It is very common for Christians to simply assume that they live in Mayberry, trusting that because they know the Lord Jesus, everything will always be fine and nothing bad can happen to them and their families. Those who have followed the Lord Jesus for more than 20 minutes, however, have often experienced first-hand that the reality of living in a fallen universe can be very different.”

The number of issues i have with the Catholic Church are many starting with the whole calling people father when the bible says flat out not to do it and the priest being a go between God and his people even though that was the whole reason Christ came. But as he said, anyone who has spent more than five minutes in a bible knows that God is not some anti gun hippy, so this is a good start.

Now if they could just stay away from the kids....

Look at history folks. RCC wasn't exactly Buddhist.
