Winchester Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 but drunkenly. It is easily hit by anti-aircraft fire.
cmotherofpirl Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 His soul soars. :D I don't think you can confine that very easily.
hyperdulia again Posted August 14, 2003 Author Posted August 14, 2003 :( This depresses me. I hurt. There's another "reformation" starting. I understand where these people are coming from, I get the pain I feel the pain; but I don't see how people can take children away from the Church. Even while I was proudly proclaiming my none-Catholicness I had Ashley bbaptised nad took her to mass almost everyday. I could never punish my child for my (many) ideological differences with the Church. I'm going somewhere to become a hermit 'til it's over. Pray for me, Jon, and Ashley. Pray for the Sullivans. Pray for the Savages. Pray for the O'Donnel's (yes, Rosie's opting out too). Come Lord!
Winchester Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 You are a strange bird, Hyper. Wonderful, but strange. I like ya.
Dave Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 You are a strange bird, Hyper. Wonderful, but strange. That's why we all love him so much! :D

benedict_x Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 (edited) Does this mean I'm supposed to leave as well? Oh dear... Humans... you gotta love them. They come up with the most intresting things sometimes. Never let it be said that life is boring. Edited August 14, 2003 by benedict_x

TempleofVesarius Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 *blows smoke in the face of hypers enemies* you want him to leave you gotta get him past me :angry:

Jake Huether Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Ahh, and the devision begins. Remember when Christ said not to pull up the weeds with the wheat? Well, I think the wheat is ripe in season and the weeds are going to uproot themselves! I think it's great! **before you go all bullistic on me, let me explain. I'm not against homosexuals. I'm against open active gay sins.** Look here: This call to leave the Church will only reap amesome fruit! It isn't good at all that ANYONE should leave. But on the other hand there will be a great purification of our Church. This call to leave will, of course, only fall on the ears of those who would leave ANYWAY. While those who refuse to listen to the Church leave, those who stay grow stronger. Kind of like when you evaporate the water from your stew. Our Church will grow stronger and more concentrated. While this call appears to be an attack on the Church, I have a sneaky suspicion that it will backfire. What it really is is a call for actively gay people to either renounce their faith (or whatever faith they have left), or renounce their lifestyle! This is a great choice! It is what the Church has been trying to do anyway. And now we have the secular world HELPING the Church. How? They are helping to draw a CLEAR line between HOT and COLD. There will no longer be lukewarm (which our SAVIOR HATES). You're either for the Church or against it. Sweet! The Church doesn't need active gays to misrepresent her anyway! It isn't the Church that needs us! WE NEED THE CHURCH. It is to their benefit to stay. But it's to the benefit of those devout Catholics (and to the Church) that those who would try to damage them (and her) should leave!

They come up with the most intresting things sometimes. Never let it be said that life is boring. No. Somehow I don't think their target audience is devout Catholics with homosexual tendancies. I think their target audience are those actively and openly gay individuals who use the Catholic name for their own selfish reasons anyway. I will pray for those people named (Rosie, et al). But as a note: I don't think it hurt them to leave - quite the contrary, I'll bet it was (seemingly) "liberating". The conscience is a funny thing... You feel so free when you don't have one! :P
Thomas Michael Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Come on everybody, shout along! HELL NO, HYPE CAN'T GO! HELL NO, HYPE CAN'T GO!...
cmotherofpirl Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 In some respects this is the same as what the Church is saying to Catholic politicians. If you use the name Catholic, obey the Church or be honest enough to leave.
hyperdulia again Posted August 14, 2003 Author Posted August 14, 2003 Two of the three people that I mentioned have children, that they are taking out of the Church. And Andrew's a large part of why I didn't leave during/after the molestation scandals of '01 and '02. Everyone I named hhas publically come to the defennse of the Church before. It isn't a good thing that their leaving.
hyperdulia again Posted August 14, 2003 Author Posted August 14, 2003 Thanx everyone for the kind words and encouragement.
cmotherofpirl Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Hyper the people in the article are a bunch of jerks. If they leave the Lord of the Universe and His church because they are asked not to sin in a certain way, how serious were they ever about being Catholic? Does not the Church call all of us to give up our own particular sin? If she ever stopped telling us to sin, would she still be the Catholic Church? Would that not be the end of the world?
marielapin Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 I've personally never heard Rosie defend the Church. I have only heard the opposite out of her.
