Change

I overheard a priest "teaching" a group of Junior High students about Christian beliefs, specifically Catholic ones.  He talked about Jesus, listing the things we are supposed to believe.  Well, say that the students agree.  Do they really have to make any fundamental changes in the core of their life? They will go off from that catechism class and do the same things they were otherwise planning for the rest of the day.  But what if the same priest were to say to a group of homophobes, that Gay people are just as loved by God as everyone else, and are made in God's image just like everyone else?  Now that would call for some change.  I suspect the change would be in the priest's assignment.
