Foster attendance at McGuinness mass was wrong

News that Arlene Foster has attended requiem mass for Martin McGuinness raises an obvious question: Do DUP's members, supporters and elected representatives agree with Arlene Foster attending requiem mass for an unrepentant terrorist?

Arlene Foster attended as DUP party leader and representative. Therefore it is right to ask this very obvious question. Silence is taken as tacit agreement and consent.

Failure to speak out makes those who hold their tongue a partaker in her actions.

Is this the ‘outreach’ envisaged by those who have called for such things in recent days?

Loyalty to the Law of God and the Truth of God is more important than loyalty to any party or organisation.

The attendance of Arlene Foster at requiem mass for an unrepentant terrorist is wrong on two accounts.

Firstly, it is wrong when it is remembered that McGuinness was unrepentant to the bitter end regarding his IRA past.

What difference is there between McGuinness and the Islamic terrorist who caused mayhem, destruction and death this past week in London? None at all!

Secondly, and even more importantly, it is wrong when it is remembered that the mass is a blasphemy against Jesus Christ and something injurious to the Saviour’s honour and finished work on the cross for sinners.

It is loyalty to Jesus Christ that requires us to declare whether we are in agreement with this or not?
