Exodus 22:2-3New International Version (NIV)
2 “If a thief is caught breaking in at night and is struck a
fatal blow, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed; 3 but if it
happens after
sunrise, the defender is guilty of bloodshed.
Father Edward Fride, a Catholic priest, cited recent crime
in the area in a letter to parishioners at Christ the King in Ann Arbor Michigan. During
Mass last month, Father Fride announced a concealed pistol license class at the
church.
The letter was titled "We're not in Mayberry Anymore,
Toto," references to "The Andy Griffith Show" and the dog from
"The Wizard of Oz." He wrote: "How to balance faith, reality,
prudence, and trust is one of those critical questions that we struggle with
all our lives."
Wow Pastor, ever heard of the Ten Commandments? "Thou shalt not kill"? I didn't know that the church has created an exception!
