People of the Book

When the Qur’an talks about “The People of the Book” it’s not talking about Mormons.

trying to explain Catholic guilt to non-Jews/Catholics is next to impossible

tommy2shoes

Catholic guilt and Jewish guilt are different.

I am convinced the most pressing issue for the Church at this point in time is the ordination of women. Every day we refuse to ordain them we tell women around the world they are inferior and incapable of being the Image of God. Every day we refuse to ordain women we tell men they are superior beings and women are our servants. Every day we refuse to ordain women we actively participate in the ‘structures of sin’ that is systemic misogyny and toxic patriarchy. Every day we refuse to ordain women we tell the Holy Spirit to shush.

We don’t ordain women because there aren’t enough men. We don’t ordain women because of a *vocations crisis*. We need to ordain women because they are God’s Image made real, through baptism they become the anointed, one with Christ.

To refuse a woman is to refuse Christ. To reject women is to reject the Holy Spirit. To deny women is to deny God.

How do we change a frustrating, wayward world? First, go to Confession & change our frustrating, wayward selves.

not to vagueblog or anything but it’s great to see that even lgbt christians spew the “cafeteria catholic” stuff

like, churches have been wrong. Social teachings and “theological teachings” are not as distinct as you seem to think. Gay people aren’t just grandfathered into the wait-til-marriage thing, their desires are considered intrinsically disordered and you can’t just make a tiny exception without admitting that there are some messed up teachings if not now then in the past because like it or not, people including bishops and popes considered Jews “god-killers” and they took this as part of their theology even if they changed it at vatican II. Just because you and your priest have put it behind you doesn’t mean it wasn’t central to their belief system before.

“well, genders of ordained ministers doesn’t count—” “same sex couples are ok but only if they wait until marriage—” “I’m sure the church was never anti-semitic because they never said anything about it at the first vatican council!”

These things are not as perfectly separable as you think. The Church Militant is not the same thing as the Church Triumphant. The fucking southern baptists claim that they’re the same as the early Christians just like you do. And sure, you can claim that the church has never changed its doctrine, if you adjust the definition of “doctrine” every time there’s a change.

Change is ok. Change is not evil. Humans are brilliant and continually rediscover God.

LGBTA+ Person of Faith Challenge: Day 9

What’s the biggest obstacle you face as an LGBTA+ person of faith?

Oh dear.. getting into heavy stuff yet again. Uhmmm I’m going to go with loneliness and not letting my life be ruled by fear.

I am continuously trying to understand and pinpoint where my heart/mind lands on the idea of being in a relationship, and how I am meant to relate and interact with people. I know I’m not the only one who goes back and forth between being concerned about if I am being influenced by internalized homophobia or temptations/being misled. I will say that overall, I have gotten to be a lot more comfortable with both believing I have a place in the church, as well as with how different aspects of myself are outwardly expressed. It wasn’t always easy to feel like I could be a part of both communities, but I don’t think I would feel whole if I didn’t allow myself to be honest about who I am, and with those around me as well. Whether it has been through seeking out places where I can be myself, or creating niches where I can be open with others like me, truthfulness and self expression have helped bring peace of mind and heart into my life. Also if nothing else I know that my sexuality has changed the way I relate to and interact with people, and I am trying to embrace that in a positive way so that regardless of the end results, the relationships I build with the people in my life are as authentic and beneficial as possible. I think/hope that as long as I approaching things from that perspective things will fall into place the way they are meant to.

Since Archbishop Myers of Newark sent out a memo to all his priests to bar from Communion anyone who supports marriage equality, shouldn’t he also bar from Communion other ‘dissidents,’ like those who support the death penalty, those who reject immigration rights, those who don’t think health care is a fundamental human right? What about barring those who don’t feed the hungry by supporting budget cuts to SNAP, or barring those who supported and still support these unjust wars? ‘Cafeteria Catholic’ is an awful term thrown around by those insecure people so as to feel better about their own 'dissent’ from the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The church’s first duty is not to hand down condemnations or anathemas, but to proclaim God’s mercy, to call to conversion, and to lead all men and women to salvation in the Lord.
