THE TWO FACES OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

…the Bleacherman has entered the stadium…

This blogger recently read that the Denver Archdiocese has denied a preschool child the right to enroll in Catholic school because his (or her) parents are lesbians.  The Church issued a statement that basically said that it only wants children whose parents abide by church policies.

What bullshit!  What an absolute insult to our intelligence!  What two-faced hypocrisy!

So let me get this straight.  The teachings of God pretty much demand tolerance, compassion and an open heart to all of his children.  It’s buried in pages and pages of doctrine and dogma but that pretty much says what it says in a quick, Cliff-note translation.

So now the Church in Denver only wants children of parents who abide by church policies.  So, tell me oh great defenders of doctrine, what about single women who had children out of wedlock?  You know, not being a virgin on one’s wedding night is a no-no so do you take their children?  What about congregants who have committed or are committing adultery? Or once, decades ago, had an abortion?  Do you exclude all of those children as well?

And tell me, pious and noble ones, what about the perverts, those priests, those men of God that run around your sacred and hallow grounds molesting children?  Do you ostracize them in any way?  No, of course not, you forgive them and send them off to new and fresh hunting grounds to find fresh, innocent meat to abuse.

What bullshit!  How in God’s name do you hold a child responsible for the behavior of their parents?  You are nothing but hypocrites.  I am sure God is crying over your abomination in his name.
