Priest removes gay couple from volunteer posts in Lewistown Catholic church [View all] trotsky Sep 2014 OP

Why should Rev. Spiering give a shit? If the Pope says "Who are we to judge?" I don't MADem Sep 2014 #1

He said "who are we to judge" Goblinmonger Sep 2014 #4

I looked at what Frank said, and it sounded to me like his version of DADT. MADem Sep 2014 #5

No, if you look at the context of when he said "who am I to judge"... trotsky Sep 2014 #6

We are going to have to agree to disagree. MADem Sep 2014 #7

If we limit his words to what is said, then, the priest did the right thing LiberalAndProud Sep 2014 #8

No. If he's following the lead of the Pope, he's sticking his beak in where it doesn't belong. MADem Sep 2014 #10

Do you think the priest is interpreting the Pope's words differently, LiberalAndProud Sep 2014 #11

I think he's doing the opposite of what the Pope said to do, because he's a busybody little shithead MADem Sep 2014 #15

Examining the priest's history might be difficult. LiberalAndProud Sep 2014 #18

I just did! See edit, above. MADem Sep 2014 #19

Do you have links? Would be interested. LiberalAndProud Sep 2014 #20

I keep editing while you're replying, sorry! Look up to my last post, and here's another MADem Sep 2014 #23

I'm still reviewing your links. LiberalAndProud Sep 2014 #31

Not sure--hard to know if they're good (or not) on web page updates! MADem Sep 2014 #33

... got the bishop to back him up ... LiberalAndProud Sep 2014 #34

Wouldn't be a bad idea--this guy was there for less than a week before he lowered the boom. MADem Sep 2014 #36

... LiberalAndProud Sep 2014 #38

DING! Winner! Raster Sep 2014 #28

I agree this idiot needs a large dose of reality. okasha Sep 2014 #41

What do you suppose the odds are of that happening? trotsky Sep 2014 #46

Stay tuned. rug Sep 2014 #12

That's interesting. LiberalAndProud Sep 2014 #14

That's utter drivel. rug Sep 2014 #21

I didn't give it much credence either. LiberalAndProud Sep 2014 #22

I am NOT a Catholic, however, if Communion is the act of becoming One with the Christ... Raster Sep 2014 #29

It's also a communion with other humans at the same time. rug Sep 2014 #39

Ill believe it when i see it. AtheistCrusader Sep 2014 #42

Not in the least. They're two different species. rug Sep 2014 #43

You can believe what you want. trotsky Sep 2014 #13

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. MADem Sep 2014 #16

As pope, he could move those thousand miles in just one step. trotsky Sep 2014 #17

You go nowhere if you go it alone. MADem Sep 2014 #24

Actually, the church has to go where he goes. trotsky Sep 2014 #25

It didn't go where JP the First went, though, did it? MADem Sep 2014 #26

Are you suggesting that everyone else at the Vatican is basically a mobster? trotsky Sep 2014 #27

Haven't you been following the news out of Vatican City, lately? MADem Sep 2014 #30

Are you suggesting these "few" would assassinate the pope? trotsky Sep 2014 #32

Just because a few people might take it upon themselves to act in a criminal fashion MADem Sep 2014 #35

No, that seems to be exactly what you're saying. trotsky Sep 2014 #37

No, I'm not. Not "this shadow Vatican." I don't know how I can possibly make it clearer, but do let MADem Sep 2014 #40

Oh, you've made it quite clear. trotsky Sep 2014 #45

That's quite the opposite of what I actually said, but do go on with your bad self! MADem Sep 2014 #47

It's good that your claim is now the opposite of what you claimed earlier. trotsky Sep 2014 #50

You need to just stop doing what you are doing--it is disruptive and OBVIOUS, and I am pointing it MADem Sep 2014 #52

What exactly did I misrepresent? trotsky Sep 2014 #54

The man ended up DEAD, that was my meaning. MADem Sep 2014 #55

So again, what does that mean? trotsky Sep 2014 #56

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1218153332#post63 MADem Sep 2014 #64

"If you get my meaning" Goblinmonger Sep 2014 #57

You can read what I wrote as well as the next person. Why you choose not to is curious. MADem Sep 2014 #60

"All it takes is ONE disgruntled asshole." trotsky Sep 2014 #62

Nope, not saying that, either. MADem Sep 2014 #63

I'm sorry that your position on this is so inconsistent and that you don't like it pointed out. trotsky Sep 2014 #65

I'm sorry you're not having any luck playing the game you so anxiously want to play. MADem Sep 2014 #66

I am sorry to have angered you. trotsky Sep 2014 #72

I am not angered and I've not "accused" you of anything. MADem Sep 2014 #73

So, just to clear up any remaining confusion on my part... trotsky Sep 2014 #74

I have no idea what the answer is to that question. MADem Sep 2014 #76

If it's a rumor, and if you don't believe it... trotsky Sep 2014 #79

There you go AGAIN. MADem Sep 2014 #80

Wow. All I did was ask for clarification. trotsky Sep 2014 #81

No, you did not "ask for clarification." MADem Sep 2014 #82

You're not really helping make the RCC look better here. Goblinmonger Sep 2014 #48

Why would you think I have appointed myself as their advocate? MADem Sep 2014 #49

This is all about finding out why Francis really doesn't do something. Goblinmonger Sep 2014 #67

You are putting words in my mouth. Why? MADem Sep 2014 #69

He's just being polite. The words fell out of your mouth, so he put them back. Warren Stupidity Sep 2014 #77

Well, not really. In fact, not at all. But thanks for playing, I guess. nt MADem Sep 2014 #78

It fell out of somewhere but not where you think. Or from whom. rug Sep 2014 #83

That's all right. There are a lot more posters in this thread not helping skepticism look better. rug Sep 2014 #53

Yeah. I don't see that. Goblinmonger Sep 2014 #58

I'm not surprised. rug Sep 2014 #59

You, apparently, were unable to get mine. MADem Sep 2014 #61

Oh, I got it. Goblinmonger Sep 2014 #68

No--you got all three of YOUR (assumed and invented) positions. MADem Sep 2014 #70

See? Dyedinthewoolliberal Sep 2014 #2

Ummm ... The Catholic Church includes prison ministries cap Sep 2014 #3

It's a question of leadership, isn't it? LiberalAndProud Sep 2014 #9

"Priest upholds Catholic doctrine" is not newsworthy. Donald Ian Rankin Sep 2014 #44

They were volunteers shenmue Sep 2014 #51

I guess a load of parishoners voted with THEIR feet, too. MADem Sep 2014 #71

If they actually left the RCC... rexcat Sep 2014 #75
