What's the deal?
Point:
A thirty-second rant. An AP report says a gay couple have been turned away from communion at their Catholic parish. In an interview with the AP, Monsignor Roger Grundhaus makes clear his view that communion is a requirement for attaining eternal life. Ergo: Grundhaus is in effect damning the couple to burn in eternal hell forever (in his own mind, that is). As a former Roman Catholic, I've written in polite language many thoughtful reflections on the inadequacies of Catholic moral theology. Today, let me put it a different way: Fuck you, Monsignor Grundhaus. You and your hypocritical, sick twisted perversion of Christ's teachings are a disgrace to the Christ, the Church, and all humanity. You can take your Blessed Sacrament and shove it up your ass.
And counterpoint:
Soulful Blogger Spews Highly Acidic Evolved Consciousness All Over the Screen
It seems a priest failed to affirm that gayness is the most exquisite form of wonderfulness the human race has yet given to the world. He didn't tell anybody what they could do in their bedrooms. He didn't threaten anybody. He simply asked somebody in *his* Church to refrain from communion since, you know, the teaching of the Church is that gay sex is wrong. For this failure to give 100% approval to what the priest's faith says is sinful, the highly evolved Joe Perez, Expert Astrologer, give us all a rhetorical foretaste of what to expect from the Evolved Consciousness once it owns all the guns and can punish Christians for incorrect thoughts.
Remember, if you follow what Christ said, you're perverting His teachings. If you BS, put words in His mouth, and ignore what he said, you're being Christian. I'll take number one please.
