    According to my Bible, God created us in his image and likeness.

    I seem to be missing the part where He then went on to create the inferior peoples whose skin colors are darker or are gay or speak a language other than English …

    I you want to look at the face of God, look at about 7.2 billion of them.

    I guess it’s a New York City thing, but here, most Catholic churches welcome gay people.

    Generally speaking, despite Francis’ reforms (or attempts thereof), Catholic church attendance continues its downward slide with no sign of abatement. Between the daily reminders of the Church’s misfeasance with respect to systemic sexual assault by priests and the cover-up by the hierarchy to the Church’s refusal to allow women into the priesthood and other leadership positions to the continued shaming of subgroups of Catholics (queer, divorced, etc.), the Church is in danger of eventual extinction.

    The Red Hat Society is a woman’s social group – a coincidence? I think not…

    right? we are not to judge, and you don’t need leaders with no church members

    Ok, somebody has to let those guys know how not to be Catholic. It doesn’t hurt at all to go your own way. You can call it another lonely day…another lonely yeah!!!
