This is
it!
It’s
about time the Ontario Government pulls funding for Catholic Schools- or the separate
board, as it is known. Public
boards have accepted the term “Gay Straight Alliance” but not the Catholics.
Gosh
no. Think about what the Pope would do. He would say no.
He
would be firm.
Suffer
the little Children…
You
know, like after Mass when it’s the Altar Boys and the Priests changing “backstage”.
Soft
whispers: Now don’t tell your parents.
Jesus
wouldn’t love you anymore.
Say- I
might have some candy in my pocket.
Rock
hard stick candy.
How
about you reach deep down in Father Betwixt and Between’s pocket and see what
he has for you.
Heh.
Heh. Heh.
But there’s
nothing Gay or dirty going on.
Christ….Jesus
wouldn’t like the term Gay Straight either. He probably flew on down from his
Heavenly Throne and whispered something encouraging into the Pope’s ear.
Jesus!
God might get irate.
The
last time God got irate he turned a blind eye to all the suffering here on
earth.
That’s
a long time- since the beginning of it all in the Garden of Eden. If you believe.
Now
following that good Catholic example, let’s hide it under the skirt of every
Priest and Cardinal who has diddled with young boys or smacked a First Nations’
Kid around. This is definitely the pot calling the kettle black. The kettle
with enough golf trim it could feed the poor for years!
Catholics
who have children in school should be ashamed of how Gay Straight Alliances are
being shoved under the altar rug. Don’t say Gay and it will go away.
It hasn’t
for centuries so why would it- or should it, now?
How
high and mighty the Catholic Church thinks itself to be.
You
know the Catholics believe they are the only “true” religion.
Look it
up.
Even Protestants
reciting the Apostle’s Creed give all their love as well as recognizing the
power and the glory of the Holy Catholic Church.
How
awe-inspiring and fear-inspiring is the Pope.
It’s
all fear.
It’s
all about death, not day-to-day living.
It’s
the great preparation for that day when each and every Catholic- lower
Christian denominations not so much, meet with God and sit upon his right side.
What about
right now?
What
about living day to day?
What
about stepping on and squashing bullying and hate right now.
Today.
If the Catholic
Church is so high and mighty, take that first sandal clad step forward and show
some mercy.
Support.
Love.
Human
kindness.
Did I
mention L O V E ?
I
promised myself I would not write more “religious” based blogs from the
perspective of an Atheist but damn it pull the funding now.
Let
them eat Cake and raise their own dough.
Don’t
make allowances.
Individually,
show the whole world compassion and feed your flock with love. That’s if you have
religion or faith- or a flock.
Do you
know how much easier it is to get up each morning and to not have to answer to
a Supreme Being who demands respect, love, devotion and pain. To not have to
believe in something that eats at your gut, demands your devotion, plays with
your sense of well-being and takes your money for the good of all mankind?
Poppycock!
How
easy to get up and love those around you- those who you can and allow you to.
How
easy to help a neighbour.
Sit
with a sick friend.
Volunteer
for a charity.
Smile
through life and take the next step to our next phase- gracefully and with
dignity and assurance that it is nothing like Church, religion and the
Catholics would have you believe.
~Amen~
