By Jonah McKeown, CNA - During what was to be his final Sunday Mass on July 30, Father Beard preached about not being “on the fence” when it comes to faith in Christ, telling the congregation that “the only thing that matters is your soul.” … “You need to know the truth."... “I am not going to stand before him and say, ‘Well, Lord, I would have pitched it but you know there’s going to be pushback’ ... my brothers in Christ, my job is to pitch it. Whether you want to catch it or not is on you. My job is to make sure you know the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God.”
