America<\/a> was founded as a Christian country<\/a>. It was set up so that everyone would have freedom of religion, but the idea was that our rights came from God and that He would be acknowledged in our daily lives. We have definitely wandered away from that concept although some of us still respect it. Our culture has become secularized to the point where some groups within our country do even have a realistic concept of church or church people. Unfortunately many of our college campuses<\/a> fall into this group.<\/p>\n

Steven Hayward posted an article at Power Line <\/a>today that illustrates how far America has come from its roots.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

This story out of Indiana University<\/a> yesterday hardly needs comment (but I\u2019ll supply some anyway):<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone mistook a priest for a KKK member last night<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Rumors of a klansman\u00a0on campus have proven false after a priest innocently made his way through Bloomington.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last night around 9:15 PM, social media became a furious storm of confusion regarding a man in white robes roaming along 10th St. and purportedly armed with a whip.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students thought the\u00a0white robes indicated\u00a0Klu Klux Klan<\/a> affiliation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the spirit of Hoosiers<\/a> helping Hoosiers, students were quick to look out for each other by\u00a0spreading word of this potential safety risk.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below are some of the tweets during the incident:<\/p>\n

\"CollegeStudentsPriest\"<\/a>A later tweet reported, “This man is a very kind priest from St. Paul<\/a>‘s. He walks around campus praying the rosary for students. No hate from him. Only love.”<\/p>\n

A further tweet: “Just imagine if this had happened at Yale. There’d be a squadron of police cars and a campus-wide safe space.”<\/p>\n

The whip may have been either Rosary beads<\/a> or a rope tied around his waste as part of his robes.<\/p>\n
