Wow, What A Timely Experience as An Anthropology Participant Observer, Visiting the Catholic
Church Today, Getting There to Catch the Last 5 Minutes of the Homily Yet to my Greatest Surprise
After That 'Discreetly' Two Women Middle-Aged Wearing White, Asked to Come Up Front to Celebrate
Their Inclusion in the Catholic Church; of Course, some of the More 'Traditional' Catholics Wearing Hunting
Jackets and the Such as That Snickering Here and There in the Congregation Yet Chances are If They Were
All Alone without the 'Mob Related Behavior,' They would Have Just Looked Forward Stone Cold the Way Most
Do During the
Homily Anyway;
Hey, Life Gets Kinda Busy
These Days; Room to Snooze
For a Few Seconds too Yet i Was
Really Proud of the Catholic Church Today;
Even Though No One Spilled The Beans About
Their Orientation, Although it Seemed Kinda Clear
You Could Really Tell by the Women's Warm SMiLes They
Were So Happy to be Included in the Warmth of the Community
As i Surely Made my Way to Them With Warm SMiLes and a Congrats too;
And When i Left Even Though there was No way to Really Prove What was Really
Going on Discreetly,
i Told the Priest i Was
Really Proud of the Catholic
Church Today As they Made
Two Middle-Age Women Feel Included;
Like the Sign at the Star Bucks Cafe in the
Mall that Says, "Welcome Join Us In Creating
A Joyful and Inclusive Space Where We Can
Uplift One Another Over Coffee.
Thank You For
Being Part of Our
Community."
Hey, No Coffee Yet
They Got A Free Sip
of Wine and a Free Wafer
That is Supposedly 'The Body of God;'
And if they Really Believe that Wow What
A Sugar Pill For Potential Healing that Science
Shows Actually
Works; Yawn, Just
A Wafer Instead of a Pill;
Other than that It's the Only
Church in the F in County that
Makes Any Effort For Inclusion
of Gay Folks Hmm... i Might Even
Arrive at the Beginning Next Week
As They've Finally Done a Bit of Repentance...
It's True, It's Just Another Run of the Mill Town Place to Do LoVE iN Peace..

what became of old Rick Santorum?
A Catholic who was also a culture warrior.
He is still alive. But you never hear much about him anymore.

His current claim to fame is having a bodily function named after him.
I learn as much vocabulary from the Urban Dictionary as I do from Webster's.
Not really a bodily function, just a frothy byproduct of buttsecks.
THAT much...I knew.
Even that was coined some years ago.

This is the part of his speech that's problematic
"Francis stressed that such blessings should not be given in a liturgical context. The document says they should be delivered discreetly and never with any of the pomp or ceremonial accoutrements found at weddings."
Translation: We love our gay brothers and sisters but they are still going to hell

A note to LGBT minors: A trustworthy adult will never ask you to keep a secret or be "discrete." If a priest is telling you to have discretion, run.
Yes I don't understand what the pope means by delivering discreetly? sermon? confessional? confusing...

I would interpret it as give your blessings in private, rather than performing weddings or publicly granting blessings to same-sex couples.
