Merci Br. Patrick!

That is surely so like you say!

But I fail to see that such Fundamentalists are reading their bible litterally or otheriwse!!

To me, in my book, such terror that some do, murdering gays because homosexuals are gays and making sure that females are uneducated and/or slaves, these Fundamentalists are just so-called ones as con artists con religion, and I consider them just criminals, as barbaric ! Not much humanity to them, I say, if at all that !

I wonder why they have at least 4 wives legally and sell some or all of their children to slave markets?
Can you and others guess ?


Au revoir,
hugs!

Fundamentalist's "god" is their Scripture.   Problem is.. they won't let God GROW!  He is so much more than what has been written in the past 6000 years.   You would think that books with SO MANY contradictions would cause people to realize that these Sacred Books are to be read Spiritually  - NOT LITERALLY!  All of your citations were written in Holy Books.

A book is their weapon and hatred is their cause for anyone who disagrees with them.   A truly sad situation.. but I do try to love these people, they NEED to be loved.

I'm just coming out of an 8 month sabbatical that made me realize that LOVE is THE ANSWER for every problem on this planet.   From the smallest arguments to the Global Economy, if we only would put love at the very top of our priorities.   The best thing about it is the more that you give away, the more you receive.

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE   ::)

Merci Br. Patrick!

That is very interesting your post!

Bon dimanche!  Have a wonderful and happy, and restful joyful Sunday!

Did you see the films:
The Priest an 1994 movie?

I Confess an 1953 movie?

That first one sure is interesting as it presents a gay priest! The other also accents the priesthood!
I would be happy to get your comments, please Brother patrick!

Ay revoir,
hugs!

Seems to me I heard about "The Priest" but never saw either one of them.  Most of my movie watching is Old Movies.   And as I just heard on Turner Classic Movies, a movie isn't Old if you haven't seen it.

Merci Br. Patrick!

I have seen these two movies last saturday evening!

And you would be overjoyed by them, especially since it touches priests!
And much more, of course! Even to-day's gay life/lives, with The Priest, 1994 movie!

Will you see them?

Au revoir,
hugs!

I can check for availability at amazon.com and when I can afford it, I definitely want to see "The Priest" - 90% of the priests I know are gay - not practicing, but gay nonetheless.

There is more to being gay than just SEX.

Merci Br. Patrick!

Maybe if 90% of priests are  gay, then it could be the ONLY place for some gays to be SAFE, maybe Br. Patrick


Your view on that, maybe.

Au revoir,
hugs!

I don't think that gay priests are safer than anyone else.  It would be exceptionally shameful for them to be 'Outed' to their congregations because of being caught because of some unfulfilled sexual outing.  And when a priest (or a monk) goes about his business, we generally wear common clothing - nothing that would distinguish us from anyone else.  Clerical Clothing definitely has it's appropriateness depending on the work one is engaged in.  But as I learned on the last day of my novitiate retreat in 1978, wearing a habit does not make me a monk.  That comes from within.

As long as there are homophobes, there will be gay bashing.. to whoever.  They need to be LOVED.   To repeat a biblical topic, it's like pouring hot coals on their heads.   ::)

Merci Br. Patrick !

Your post is interesting!

You do not think that being a gay priest, pastor, etc., helps being safer from neing murdered for being a homosexual...
somehow.

Au revoir,
hugs!

Maybe for a RELIGIOUS homophobe.  ;D

Now there's two words one seldom sees in the same sentence..
