*these are my thoughts about a couple of family members not people or non people on mastodon*

Saying no to a gay wedding on principle is worse than being 'busy'.

I don't need to know your principles. Just say you are busy.

Be polite. The vegans apologise and try to be helpful. The disabled try to plan and work out their routes. Those that live abroad book months In advance, and
take weeks off and save money for the flights and hotel. The elderly book their early taxis.

Don't say your principles stopped you. God never said anything. Jesus never said anything.

Everyone breaks their backs to come and then there's you. The Pope said 'who am I to judge?' that wasn't an invitation for you to judge.

I won't forget and I may not forgive. I'm not bound by the rules of your corrupted dogma. I'm free from being told what is right and wrong. I learnt early on that the church was not right and here is living proof of it's petty prejudice.

May you be blessed with many gay children.

Reminder: The reason we have #chocolate #Advent Calendars is so that baby #Jesus can enjoy them via the theological process of reverse #transubstantiation.

If you're not opening the doors and eating the chocolate every single day of Advent, you're denying baby Jesus his sweet-treats.

He gives you bread, wine, body and blood every Sunday of the year, this is the least you can do.

Report details 'staggering' church sex abuse in Maryland - but somehow #drag shows are corrupting our children? No, there has never been a reported case of child abuse resulting from attending a drag book reading or show, but we now know thousands of children, maybe tens of thousands have been abused by religious authorities. So let’s just deflect and deny. What BS. #childabuse #sexabuse #catholocism #religion #churchesarentsafeforkids #churches #LGBTQ https://apnews.com/article/baltimore-archdiocese-sex-abuse-report-7d5d3af098da59a1c9313a246566638c
Report details 'staggering' church sex abuse in Maryland

More than 150 Catholic priests and others associated with the Archdiocese of Baltimore sexually abused more than 600 children over the past 80 years. That's according to a state report released Wednesday that accused church officials of decades of cover-ups. The disclosure marks a significant development in an ongoing legal battle over their release and adds to a growing pile of evidence from parishes across the country as numerous similar revelations have rocked the Catholic Church in recent years. Former Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh launched the probe in 2019 and announced its completion last November.

The AP Interview: Pope says homosexuality not a crime

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis criticized laws that criminalize homosexuality as “unjust,” saying God loves all his children just as they are and called on Catholic bishops who support the laws to welcome LGBTQ people into the church.

Ya but if hell-fire is based on faith alone, the head of the #childAbuse coverup goes to heaven.

Comic of Pope Benedict at a signpost with a skull on top and two arrows signs. The top sign reads, "child abuser hell." The second points lower and says "head of child abuse cover up organization super hell." There are flames and smoke to convey the location is hell.
