NEW VOICE COLUMN UP...
...about the Pope's remarks on gay people and rightbloggers' anxiety that they might be taken as something other than anti-gay. I'm so old, I remember when it was the Democrats who had to constantly worry about keeping a fractious coalition together. Now elderly Catholics who hate change are apparently the other side's problem. Lotsa luck!

Ah, the old "Judge not, lest you pack fudge." It's not totally unlike "Suffer the children, really make 'em suffer."
ReplyDeleteKoresh bless the holy mother church.
Many liberal elites don't even have the basic good will that Pope Francis referred to as a requisite for acceptance
ReplyDeleteThey sure do get pissy when talking about acceptance and forgiveness.
I meet a gay person, I have to distinguish between their being gay and being part of a lobby. If they accept the Lord and have goodwill, who am I to judge them? They shouldn't be marginalized. The tendency [to homosexuality] is not the problem..."
ReplyDeleteIt's not the non heterosexual sex, it's the hobbies!
What if they're part of a gay nave? Or a gay foyer? These are important distinctions to make.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter what you call the entryway; only that you use it the way God intended.
ReplyDeleteNow elderly Catholics who hate change are apparently the other side's problem.
ReplyDeleteNo, I assure you, they're still our problem, too.
Wake me when we get to the pyrophiliac oubliette.
ReplyDeleteGod or tequila. Both have their strengths.
ReplyDeleteWith only the tiniest stretch, coozledad, that analogy makes theodicy the equivalent of the worm in the mezcal bottle: the final detail that trips your gag reflex at last.
ReplyDeleteMoloch's furnace? We're sitting in it right now, sparky. Those train crashes and factory collapses and people driving over random strangers are just the fucking pilot light.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry... so it's the Lamestream Media's fault that Pope Frankie said "Who am I to judge"? And what's with THAT anyway? Yer the POPE, Frank... if you can't judge, who're you going to outsource it to, Rod Dreher?
ReplyDeleteShorter mds:
ReplyDeleteSCOTUS still exists
...Kathryn J. Lopez, who has been following the Pope closely ...
ReplyDeleteHe'd better watch his step. Kaylo looks to me like she'd be willing to boil an Easter bunny for Jesus.
Drear seems very willing to take on the task.
ReplyDeleteit implies a softening of church policy
ReplyDeleteScott Lively insists that it remain rigid.

There's probably some sort of joke involving Weiner to be made there, but I'm not sure what it is.
ReplyDeleteI'm not touching it with a ten foot pole...

"Don't Tell the Press: Pope Francis Is Using Them," Yes, he's playing 11-dimensional chess.
ReplyDeletenaw...that's not it. I've seen the pics.
ReplyDeleteKaylo looks to me like she'd be willing to boil an Easter bunny for Jesus.
ReplyDeleteMight as well. At this stage that's the only way she's going to "kill a rabbit." (Especially if it's for something other than a Mormon presidential candidate.)
I guess their real disappointment is that the Pope has not read the American new New Testament. That's the one where Beatitudes has been removed because it's all soft and squishy. The missing text has been replaced with comic-strip panels showing Jesus wielding an AK-47 and mowing down poor people, gays, and anybody who dislikes major corporations.
ReplyDeleteSo how do you tell Rod Dreher and Ross Douthat apart? I keep mixing them up. Which one is the god botherer and which one is the crunchy con?
ReplyDeleteWake me when we get to the pyrophiliac oubliette.
ReplyDeleteThat's what she said.
Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they fire a high-caliber round.
ReplyDelete"Deceptive Pope good, compassionate Pope bad!"
ReplyDeleteIsn't "lying to the infidels" something they consider evil when Muslims do it?
**High fives screen**
ReplyDeleteDouthat is doughier, hence the goatee to partially cover his dewlap.
ReplyDeleteRemarkable that WND is giving Scott Lively a column; even for them, he's pretty foul.
ReplyDeleteIn conservative philosophy, hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug.
ReplyDeleteThe Pope named himself after the patron of the city that birthed the Pride Parade, and the entrail-readers among the rightbloggers haven't noticed that?
ReplyDeleteThey print Vox Day, who wouldn't ever travel to Uganda. Not even for the opportunity to persecute homosexuals.
ReplyDeleteI'm so old, I remember when it was the Democrats who had to constantly worry about keeping a fractious coalition together
ReplyDeleteBut then most of them got assimilated by the neoliberal Borg, and it's been all peace and quiet since then.
boil an Easter bunny for Jesus
ReplyDeleteThat's the game that ruined Bible camp for me.
I hear they like to do it in the apse.
ReplyDeleteEasy on the dewlap. It's not a goiter, you know. And some people, with sophisticated tastes, consider them attractive.
