The diary of a priest, being random thoughts and various things of possible interest from the Pastor of Our Lady of the Atonement Church in San Antonio, Texas.

What's wrong with this picture?
Call me crazy, but has it come to this? An airport security guard wearing a hijab, searching a Catholic nun...?

FR. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. IF I AM WRONG, I THOUGHT MUSLIM MEN ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH WOMEN OTHER THAN THEIR WIFE OR WIFES. OUR WORLD IS IN NEED OF MUCH PRAYER AND SACRIFICES FOR ITS CONVERSION. John K.
Nuns and other innocent travelers face reverse profiling, while Abdul marches right through the line. He can't be searched because it is discriminatory. The inmates are running the asylum. J-Nap should be fired in disgrace for this hideous policy, which violates the unreasonable search law under the 4th Amendment, not to mention the virtues of modesty and chastity.
Father, I felt the same way watching my WW II veteran 94 year old father being made to take off his shoes and remove his belt and so forth to go through airport security. Common sense has become a scarce commodity.
I am searched and patted by a female security agent every single time I fly out of San Antonio and San Diego. In Chicago and D.C. I am left alone (so far). The female agent has been trained to say, "I have to pad you down, but I am only going to use the sides and back of my hand, okay?" and I reply, "But you are still touching me - how is that okay?"
This makes me want to re-evaluate the history books. Did Rome really "fall" to the vanadals et al.? Was Europe really partly concured by the Muslims? True the battles occured, but perhaps the war was already lost and the invadors were merely the guillotine falling down. In reading that 4 of 10 Amercians now view "marriage" as relevant (etc), perhpas we are "making straight the path" of our own national punishment. How long will our Lord spare us from the punishment we so justly deserve as a culture. At this point, I would encourage Him to go ahead and do what He feels needs to be done even if it entails my demise! Perhaps it is time to burn the chaff to make room for the new seeds. - Peace to you all, Hayden.

I'm pretty sure the guard is a woman, although it still boggles my mind. Through the looking glass...

The consummate irony, Just unbelievable.
Isn't it also ironic that the Muslim is kneeling beneath the American flag?

Father,
I'm afraid the headline on the DrudgeReport was right. I think the War on Terror is over. We just lost.
We have effectively become our own worst enemy.
