Duck Dynasty

Well you would have to be living under a rock not to have heard about the controversy surrounding the GQ interview with Phil Robertson, head of the Duck Dynasty clan.  Check out this blog post by Patrick Archbold at National Catholic Register for a little perspective.  While we are at it, what if anything, are YOU going to DO about it?  Have you talked to anyone about it?  Have you sent a note to A&E or to Cracker Barrel (also cancelled Duck Dynasty from their stores) expressing your thoughts on the matter?  Are we going to participate in the culture war or will we be silent about the teachings of the Catholic Church?

This just in...before I could post this word came out on the blogosphere that after initially pulling the Duck Dynasty merchandise from their shelves Cracker Barrel has caved in to VOCAL pressure from their customers and returned said merchandise to their shelves.  Interesting....we can have an effect if we will simply speak up!

You are Omnipotent.....Huh?
