Yesterday I was reading chapter 26 in the first book of Samuel and was impressed by how David respected Saul and wouldn't kill him, even though he had several chances to do so. I thought of that every time I hear the Pope Francis haters criticize him. I've even heard that there's a petition going around the parish to ask the pope to resign.
Much to my surprise, I looked up the reading I'm proclaiming at Mass this Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time. It's the same one where David and Abishai have the chance to kill the sleeping Saul. But David won't harm the Lord's anointed.
What is God trying to tell me?
