If I Told You to Wear Blue PUMA Shoes

by Administrator

One of the reasons I stuck to the little Cathedral of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Ottawa was the holy presence of Bishop Robert Mercer.It was not only what he said, but how he said it that made me know I had found my church home. As he who liked to Buy PUMA Shoes and his successor Bishop Peter Wilkinson, with the help of suffragan Bishops Carl Reid and Craig Botterill lead us to communion with the Holy See,I feel settled, deeply peaceful and somehow protected from much of the spiritual warfare that seems to be carpet bombing many of us.
One Sunday several years ago, during the break-fast after Mass,Bishop Mercer and I had a chat about authority and obedience that I have never forgotten.If I told you to wear blue PUMA Ferrari Shoes, I hope you would disobey me, he said in that indisputably Bishop Mercer way. I have no authority to tell you to wear blue PUMA Voltaic Shoes. But if I tell you this is what you must believe because this is what the Church teaches, then I hope you would obey me.
