This just in: Catholic Church calls Gays "nasty tricks&

[FS]

With most of the Catholic church going on warpath against the growing acceptance of gay couples as equal to straight couples, and in stark contrast of that, the openly gay Gene Robinson becoming bishop despite protests, it's seeming like we're just seconds away from a big old religious gay brawl. What are the chances of this splitting up the Catholic church?

And I wonder how long before some Catholic representative makes the age-old suggestion that all gays are child molesters, moments before slapping his hands over his mouth.

I was in the gym yesterday and heard this old guy say "A gay bishop..what's next, prostitutes teaching sunday school?"

They already do, shitstain...they already do.

Buddy, gay acceptance has recently been going down. Do a search yourself.

It might split up the church.

There really aren't any significant gay interest groups within the Catholic church pushing for change, so I see no real possibility of it causing a schism as may happen in the Anglican church. There's no way a Catholic bishop would be elected while openly cohabitating with another man.

The gay bishop elected was Episcopalian, not Catholic.

I'm Catholic myself, and personally, I don't really care what gay people do behind closed doors. The only thing I care about is the high school, which I don't like, not because of being "gay", but because of its segregationist attitude. It's encouraging separatism.

No, I don't see anything serious happening within the Church. I don't see a gay bishop being elected anytime soon, or actually...ever.

They will let them marry first.........................oh, wait.

You're confused, One and Only: Gay acceptance isn't going down, it comes from going down.

Is it just me, or doesn't Jesus seem a wee bit gay. I mean, 12 disciples, all of them guys, the long hair, the sandals. If you saw all that walking down the street in Provincetown or Fire Island, you wouldn't even have a question about it.

What does it matter if a bishop is gay if he is celibate?

[El Blanco]

How can you be gay and celebate? Or straight and celebate for that matter?

Max, don't forget Mary Magdaline. Great, now I gotta get on that bus to Hell with Leary and Scorcese.

My friend has this theory: The Crucafixion was just an S&M project gone bad. Jesus forgot the safety word or something.

Celibacy is just not practicing sex. You don't have to become asexual first.

Yes, I'll go to worldwidepollingontheacceptanceofgaylifestyle.com right now and check things out.

Over the past seven years or so, several countries have been legalizing gay marriage and adoption. While this has caused several other countries to fire up the go-away-gay furnace, I think there's no denying that gays are winning legal territory.

the church will split anyway...thats not unusual. It's called schism and it's how we wound up with all of these fucking denominations. Gays have never been accepted in our society...tolerated, but never accepted.

[sspadowsky]

Actually, all "celibate" means is not being married. Not having sex is being chaste.

The Episcopal church does not require celibacy of it's priests, and the new bishop makes no bones about being in a commited, monogomas, sexual gay relationship.

Get it? No 'bones'?
