If it was a big secret, I wouldn't have posted. It's common knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't gotten to hear, "Madame you're making a scene," in a long time. Are you the one who flipped out when Pope Benedict resigned and called him a "quitter"? That was making a scene...

Everyone knows them, and nobody knows you. It just makes you look like an ass. Also, chill the flip out. Exaggerated (self-)righteous indignation doesn't get anyone on your side. Not as much as unironically calling someone a 'noob' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to talk about gay men who are already ordained. I was invited to an episcopal ordination for someone who is gay and I'm opting out. Before you ask, yes I know him personally and I know for a fact he is gay. At first I was surprised and as the day approaches I find myself getting angry. I'm not sure if that's an appropriate response, but it's an honest one. I don't pretend to "get" the conservative mindset, it makes no sense to me, and in my opinion your response is not appropriate. Maybe take some time for introspection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if that's an appropriate response, but it's an honest one. Perhaps/possibly better worded as a question about knowing a priest is gay and him being ordained bishop? What would you do? How would you feel? What would you do if you were really angry about it? Is anger justified? Would you attend the ordination ceremony? ..........something like that. It might have avoided some posters getting really nasty even cruel and on a personal level. We are after all called by vocation in all instances to Charity - even in posts into forums including Catholic forums. Mea culpa. Can't count the times I have been really angry.......really angry. Sometimes justified, most times not. Anger is of the passions and sometimes comes from the "I don't know where" place. It just is. It's a question of what I choose or decide (free will) to do with anger. Sometimes I decide aright.......probably most often I decide wrongly. I certainly cannot be the first to pick up a stone. Mea culpa. Edited September 21, 2016 by BarbaraTherese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
