"Most parishes have a range of activities and programs for such groups".  When was the last time that you saw any program in any parish program earmarked for Singles---ONLY.  AND it did not attempt to play "cupid" with them?


Secondly, you did not READ carefully what I wrote.  I stated that "the very people Jesus held up as heroes/heroines both in his parables or whom he met in actual life---were those who were seen as "irregular" or in "irregular situations."

Your conclusion is that ONLY people who are in living together and not married and the divorced and remarried are in 'irregular situations'.

In Jesus' time, Samaritans, lepers, non-Jews like Romans and Syro-Phoenicians, tax-collectors, the crippled, blind and lame, elderly widows----were in "irregular situations".


Jesus came for those in irregular situations.  He did not come for those who Think that they are the righteous.
