Gay, Catholic and Doing Fine

[athrock]

It doesn't matter if it has nothing to do with the theology.  If they can turn a blind eye to their priests raping children, then they don't get the goddamn right to tell people homosexual activity is wrong.  They give up that fucking right when they turn a blind eye to child rape.  They lose the moral high ground.  They're somewhere between "scum of the earth" and "lower than maggots"  The theology is abso-fucking-lutely worthless when people raised in it and who moved up in the ranks of it allow child rapists to escape justice so they can protect their goddamned church.  

They're fucking hypocrite bigots, and nothing more.

Or just sinful humans. Like everyone else.

Howerver, as has been pointed out in this forum previously (meaning you already know this), the Catholic Church has a lower rate of pedophilia than other institutions (like the public school system, the Boy Scouts, swim teams, etc.) AND these other institutions have ALSO moved people around and tried to hide the problems.

So, hypocrisy also applies to those who, like you, go ape-shit when the Catholic Church is involved simply because it bugs the hell out of your that the Church has taken a stand against the sin of homosexuality which affects your own daughter.

Ironically, while you THINK you're protecting her (and what loving parent wouldn't so props to you) by telling her that it's perfectly okay for her to engage in sex with her lesbian lover(s), in fact, you may be condemning her to eternal separation from God by fostering her belief in a lifestyle that God hates.

(My own take is that God may be merciful since He knows that you are clueless, but that's just me - I'm an optimist.)

So, call me a homophobe. A hater. Or worse. I am unfazed.

I wouldn't be doing you any favors if I didn't speak the truth.
