Tolerance vs. Pride? Spat on by parade-goers, Catholic priest has this message | Fox News
“The two men who spat on me are probably very good man (sic) caught up in excitement and past resentment,” he wrote. “Most in that parade would not do that.”
He dismissed their act of ugliness as simply being caught up in the moment.
“Oh well, I deserve worse,” he wrote.
In a way it’s a modern-day parable – those who preach tolerance are the least tolerant of all.
But Father Jonathan demonstrated that he not only preaches tolerance – he practices it.
A lesson for us all.
