Fred Rogers, conservative Christian, is above any criticism by the atheist left.

Mashmont said:
When I've brought up the canonized saints, like Mother Teresa, the atheist left offers only criticism of this great woman. But there is another devout Christian conservative who is almost certainly a saint in heaven they CANNOT criticize, and that is one Fred Rogers, aka Mister Rogers. This man devoted his whole life and career to helping children cope with life's day to day events and hardships. Always pleasant. Always calm. Just a great man. The only time he got angry was when Eddie Murphy mocked his show on SNL, and made filthy jokes spoofing Mr. Rogers' character. Rogers was an ordained Presbyterian minister, but in later life often attended Catholic mass and received the last rites of the Catholic Church on his deathbed.

Mister Rogers’s Surprising Ties with Catholicism – EpicPew

Here is a 1987 interview with Mr. Rogers. Just a great man. He was a lonely child who was ridiculed by other students and retreated to his bedroom to invent puppets and personalities. In high school, through an act of kindness, he blossomed socially, eventually becoming student council president.

Mr. Rogers is above criticism. As is St. John Paul. I don't want to sound vain, but I would probably come close to putting myself on that list.

Nobody is above criticism. NOBODY. Not popes, not saints and definitely not simple human beings. And you do not found vain, you sound like you committed the sin of pride.

More sin of pride I see. I doubt many would see you as a true christian (the way you keep insulting people) but one of the top christians, nah, you are again fooling people, this time yourself.

But that still does not change the fact that NOBODY is beyond criticism, not even the pope or Rogers.

He did not attend Catholic mass as a Catholic, he attended as a friend to a priest. And he was given last rites while comatose by that friend. He was a life long Presbyterian.

I do not see the point of your thread saying he is above criticism, since no human is above criticism. I'm sure some people have criticized Mr. Rogers.

I agree.

In fact Mr. Rogers was a Presbyterian minister He was ordained in 1963.

From the following:

In the 1950s he began taking classes at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and graduate courses in child development at the University of Pittsburgh, largely during his lunch breaks from The Children’s Corner. He earned a Masters of Divinity degree in 1963. He was ordained in 1963 by the Presbytery of Pittsburgh with the unusual charge to continue his ministry with children and their families through the media. While he never served in the traditional role of pastor of a brick-and-mortar church, his ministry to children reached millions.

Through Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, he taught generations of children the quintessentially Christian but profoundly universal message of “Love yourself, love others.” In 2000, Mr. Rogers hung up his cardigan for good. Over the course of 30 years, the show won four Emmy awards. Fred Rogers received a Peabody and countless other awards and honorary degrees for his work as creator, host, songwriter, scriptwriter and principal puppeteer of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. He and his wife, with whom he had two sons, worshiped at Sixth Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh for many years. Mr. Rogers was a vegetarian who swam and walked daily.

I am happy to hear you that Mr. Rogers who was a member of a pro choice religion is above criticism.


Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)

In 2006, the Presbyterian Church’s national governing body, the General Assembly, reaffirmed its belief that the termination of a pregnancy is a personal decision. While the church disapproves of abortion as a means of birth control or as a method of convenience, it seeks “to maintain within its fellowship those who, on the basis of a study of Scripture and prayerful decision, come to diverse conclusions and actions” on the issue.

Presbyterians split because of abortion. But I am pleased to know later in life Fred Rogers frequently attended Catholic Mass, and was given the Last Rites of the Catholic Church. Quite possibly he converted to Catholicism at the end. Knowing he was such a great and gentle man who loved children, I am certain he would have opposed destroying little children in the womb.
