On the other hand, this parochial vicar, Robert Carr, is a great example speciousness. He's a real clown, but he differs from Ms. MR -- self-righteousness to irrationality. Take your pick, or stay away from both.massmarrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358207247771711952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703913.post-1130510035608222902005-10-28T10:33:00.000-04:002005-10-28T10:33:00.000-04:00Not sure how interesting this is, but our friend M...Not sure how interesting this is, but our friend Ms. Massresistance has <A HREF="http://massresistance.blogspot.com/2005/10/fr-bob-carr-on-latest-anti-catholic.html" REL="nofollow">noticed</A> the Globe article, and she's linked to <A HREF="http://www.angelfire.com/ma4/cathedral/catholicismanew/index.blog?entry_id=1107484" REL="nofollow">a very silly blog post</A> by a Catholic priest who's hot and bothered over it.<BR/><BR/>All very cute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703913.post-1130493620996549242005-10-28T06:00:00.000-04:002005-10-28T06:00:00.000-04:00Indeed, Marge, you have cut to the core.

Particularly in a nation and in a state where the citizens so prize standing for their beliefs (and not just what they are ordered to believe), this is a sad development. Your gracious attitude is refreshing.massmarrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358207247771711952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703913.post-1130471622344023672005-10-27T23:53:00.000-04:002005-10-27T23:53:00.000-04:00Thank you for commenting on this. I am not a Cath...Thank you for commenting on this. I am not a Catholic, and so for that reason I believe I should tread lightly. But my church, the Episcopal church, while it allows all sorts of dissent (in fact, we revel in it...) still can't seem to get it's head around gay and lesbian priests, even though we have tons of them.<BR/><BR/>Those two individuals who chose to speak out are very brave indeed. It seems sad that there are American institutions left (and this is only one...there are many religious, civic and corporate organizations where speaking one's mind respectfully is NOT supported...) where reasonable, civil dissent seems like such a threat. <BR/><BR/>My understanding of my faith is that we are all God's children. We are asked to love our neighbor. But apparently in some houses of worship that's asking just a bit too much.<BR/><BR/>We need to pray not only for those who were marginalized but also for those who did the marginalizing.Diva of Demographicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02548751682340651281noreply@blogger.com
