While many would have responded to such charges in anger, to this point Chick-fil-A has seemed content to let the process play out and wait for the bill to force a conflict rather than to seek one out. Fortunately, it looks as though it won’t come to that.

You and I have the privilege and the responsibility of choosing to think biblically and act redemptively.
It seems that Pope Francis wants the Catholic church to be more loving toward all people regardless of the sins they commit.
