The First Reading for Wednesday of the First Week in Lent tells the story of Jonah going to Nineveh and calling upon the people to repent.

This post is kind of like a sequel to this one. 

Imagine someone like Jonah going around today, calling upon people to repent of their sins. Seriously! What would society do?  How would the dominant culture reply? Probably with cries of Jonah being intolerant, judgmental, reactionary, racist, sexist, insufficiently ‘woke,’ and all that by which they attack traditional-minded folks.

I wrote a somewhat better post on this reading years ago: So Jonah went to Nineveh and this happened.

Are you a creative Catholic? "The Catholicpunk Manifesto" is my new book exhorting Catholics to apply their faith to change the culture for the better!

Know someone, perhaps yourself, who might like Catholic devotionals for alcoholics? Please take a look at my books! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
