The Associated Clergy of Cape Ann: Serving ‘No Kings’ — Not the King of Kings by Alex Destino

The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) is an openly atheist organization and a major funder of the national “No Kings” movement. For decades, this same group has fought to remove prayer from schools, crosses from public property, and any mention of God from public life.
And yet, right here in Gloucester, the Associated Clergy of Cape Ann — a group of local ministers and priests — has chosen to partner with them. This same clergy group is sponsoring the “No Kings” event this Saturday, standing with those who reject the very faith they claim to represent.
If you claim to follow Christ, you cannot walk with those who seek to erase Him from our culture or from our children’s hearts. You cannot serve two masters.
Scripture calls believers to be bold in faith. The Constitution guarantees our freedom to live that faith openly. Yet these clergy stand with those who reject both — abandoning their duty as shepherds and citizens.
Where were they when Biden’s FBI spied on Catholics and Christian parents? When Christian pregnancy centers were firebombed? When Obama sued the Little Sisters of the Poor? When chaplains were punished for praying in Jesus’ name, or crosses stripped from federal sites? When the Obama administration ordered Christian schools to open girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms to biological males — in direct violation of Christian teaching and parental rights?
It seems the only thing this clergy group truly shares with the atheists at the FFRF is their hostility toward President Trump.
People of faith across Cape Ann — it’s time to wake up. Stand for truth. Stand for life. And stand with Christ, not with those who deny Him.
