Utah's top Catholic leader also said it was a bad idea as it created an environment of deadly force as acceptable, antithetical to Christianity.

Exodus 22:2
If a thief is found breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt for him.

Just sayin...

Yeah, lets not be taking old testament quotes and applying them literally today. Because it also says that if you marry a woman and later find out she's not a virgin, you stone her to death.
And you can't eat pork.
Or catfish.
And you can't wear clothes that are two different fabrics.
And you are killed if you pick up sticks on the sabbath.
And if you capture a woman in battle you marry her, whether she wants to or not.
And you can have hundreds of wives and girlfriends on the side to boot.
And if a man rapes a virgin, he pays her father off and she has to marry him.

It could go on all day brother. Moral of the story, keep religion out of it and it will go much smoother.
Just saying. :)
 
Another Catholic chiming in... That particular bishop has an agenda. I've almost NEVER heard a Catholic bishop speak on the issue of gun control. Catholics are well within the rights of their faith to use lethal force to defend themselves.
 
It's in the LDS Church's 'Handbook 2: Administering the Church'. Section 21.2.4 reads:

Firearms

Churches are dedicated for the worship of God and as havens from the cares and concerns of the world. The carrying of lethal weapons, concealed or otherwise, within their walls is inappropriate except as required by officers of the law.

Guess I'll have to answer to that come Judgement day. Fine by me.
 
Well, I'm not a Doctor of Divinity, but after 8 years of Franciscan Nuns and another 8 of Jesuits, I guess I'm as qualified as the Bishop to voice MY OPINION!

He's nuts and a typical "Social Justice" wacko. I can certainly think of any number of Biblical texts that would support my right and duty of self-defense. While it might be inappropriate for him to carry ... it sure as heck ain't for me! :cuss:

I don't think you or any of us will have to answer for anything in there at all. It's a handbook, not the Standard Works and not an official declaration that is backed by the 1st presidency and the quorum of the 12 as well as the other GA's. My conscience is clear for not obeying this badly crafted policy.:cool:
