about this site
Catholic Sensibility is a personal blog by a Catholic layperson with comments and occasional other writings by Catholics and non-Catholics. We make no particular claims to have the completeness of a Roman Catholic expression of Christianity. It contains opinion, interpretation, and personal musings. That’s it. Nothing official or authoritatively connected to the Magisterium.

The Drowning Christian Parable
The variations of the joke I’ve heard most often are secular authorities like fire/rescue, police, and the Coast Guard coming with boats and helicopters. Evangelical pastors may be awash in nice cars and homes, but they don’t usually splurge on rescue vehicles.
People looking deeply into the Bible might be surprised. Genesis creation stories? Pagan origin. The call of various humble people, unexpected people to be lawgivers, kings, and prophets. Jesus suggested there were going to be a lot of surprised believers at the end of things. It’s the tax collector and prostitute moment for over-confident Christians.
Meanwhile, I’m keeping my mask on, and I’m staying away from crowds. Mostly so I can function in groups of people and interact with them for their own safety.
