Wadsworth
Longtime resident of Wadsworth, Ohio from 1958-2005, Reverend Robert Charles Johnson passed away peacefully in his sleep at Willowbrook Christian Community, Delaware, Ohio on January 15, 2021. His devoted wife, Betsy of 67 years was by his side. Both Bob and Betsy had contracted the COVID-19 virus.
The Johnsons and extended family would like to thank all the Willowbrook Christian Community staff for the loving care they gave to Bob and the support and comfort they continue to provide for Betsy during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Trinity United Church of Christ in Wadsworth and Willowbrook Christian Community Staff Christmas Fund. A Celebration of Life service will be held later in the year.
Is
The age-old rhetorical question. âIs the Pope Catholic?â should forever more be replaced with âIs Joe Biden Catholic?â
The answer to both questions for all of those living in reality, should, of course, be a resounding âNO!â
Jorge Mario Bergoglio, masquerading as the Vicar of Christ on Earth, believes in no Catholic doctrine other than his own.
Ditto for the current
temporary president who the New York Times claims âis perhaps the most religiously observant
commander in chief in half a century,â celebrating that a âmore liberal christianity grounds his life and his policies.â
âWhy keep on viciously harassing a president who is now a private citizen?â
Who Is Reverend Michael Pfleger? Chicago Priest Accused of Sexual Abuse
On 1/26/21 at 11:54 AM EST
Reverend Michael Pfleger made headlines earlier this year when he was removed from his Chicago ministry over allegations of child sexual abuse said to have gone back decades.
The influential Roman Catholic priest, 71, stepped down from his parish in the South Side of the city on January 5, as authorities launched an investigation into claims that Pfleger abused a pre-teen boy in the 1970s. Now, another man has also come forward.
Pfleger vehemently denies the allegations.
Born in May of 1949, Pfleger was ordained as a priest for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago on May 14, 1975.

President Joe Biden’s inaugural address emphasized the need to foster unity in the U.S. The next day, Rev. Dr. William J. Barber III challenged the country to go a step further: to become what Isaiah 58:12 calls “repairers of the breach.”
“Simplistic calls for unity that is not how we can close the breach,” Barber said in his homily at the inaugural prayer service. “The only way to ensure domestic tranquility is to establish justice.”
Socially distanced and wearing masks, Biden, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff, and members of their families gathered at the White House to attend the inaugural prayer service, which was livestreamed from the National Cathedral.
IKAR Rabbi Sharon Brous Offers Prayer at National Inaugural Prayer Service
Los Angeles IKAR Rabbi Sharon Brous was one of the faith leaders offering prayers to the new Presidential administration on Jan. 21.
The virtual interfaith service, hosted by the Washington National Cathedral, included prayers from several leaders from all religious backgrounds and performances by Patti LaBelle, Josh Groban, Donald Lawrence and Company and Detroit gospel group The Clark Sisters.
Brous spoke about the excitement of a new presidential term and the restoration of democracy.
“Give us strength, God, as we usher in the dawn of a new America, a justice-driven, multiracial democracy,” Brous said. “A new America, that lifts up the poor and protects those most vulnerable. Help us today to imagine a new America that leaves behind the fallacy of profit over people, and instead affirms that every one of us deserves to live in full dignity.”
