If I Can’t, You Can’t
Okay, so here’s the deal. Ya got the Pope acting like a Christian and that’s just more than some people can stand. In particular, priests. Ya got priests acting all put out about confessions because just aren’t as juicy as they used to be.
Catholics in Philadelphia who are divorced and civilly remarried will be welcome to accept Holy Communion – as long as they abstain from sex and live out their relationships like “brother and sister”.
Archbishop Charles Chaput is not squaring well with the Pope’s new edict of loving everybody. Question: I might be misunderstanding this but if this couple “slips” and accidentally sleeps together, is that incest?
Thanks to Chloe Bear for the heads up.
Oh, brother. I’ll ask a couple to refrain from sex when you get all of your priests to do that. M’kay?
1amazing how ideology runs sanity right off the rails, eh?
2They won’t need to order as many communion wafers, I’d wager.
3Watch for all the “For Sale” signs popping up at former RC churches in a community near you.
4This guy used to be Archbishop of the Denver Archdiocese. He officiated at one of our great-niece’s Confirmation a few years back. Everybody treated him like a rock star. So glad he’s gone.
5I think divorced and re-married Catholics should agree to this only if the priests agree to stop buggering little boys.
6Don’t be surprised to see this guy “retire” or get a posting to some cubicle in the Vatican where he can be observed. I’ve noticed Paco moves rather well and fast on such stuff.
7So what’s changed there, obispo? Oh, no getting summarily kicked out for “giving scandal” anymore, I see now (giant eye roll goes here)!
8I had to laugh. Way to increase the population of the Catholic church!
9Live like brother and sister!
The priest who married my divorced great-aunt and great-uncle used that line. After that everybody in their small town called them “Sister” and “Brother”. I found that terribly confusing as a small child because I had no idea who was related to whom.
10Are they now saying married couples shouldn’t procreate? I thought the goal was to have as many kids as possible even if the woman dies from it.
11Sounds like lying is no longer a sin since everyone knows most married couples aren’t going to abstain from sex and living “like” brother and sister the church is promoting incest. But priests sexually abusing minors and lying about it is still copacetic.
This is so fricking stoooopid! Leave it to the RCC. They’re so focused on sex, obsessed. Perverts.
