Though you may have seen me rightfully attack the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church on sexual morality, I am still wary about making the end goal of my attacks the total destruction of the Church.
The new Pope, Francis I, I think signals a new shift in Catholic teaching regarding homosexuality and sexual morality all together. I don't expect Francis I to actually come out for gay marriage and do lick Dan Savage's cock with a Vatican production of an 'It Gets Better' video. Francis I represents a phenomenal shift away from bashing those who who do not confirm to the ills of degenerate Cardinals like former Pope Ratzinger on sexual morality.
The Catholic Church is not a bad church, but its government and leaders, I think, are corrupted by the evil forces of Satanism and sexual perversion. Closeted gay priests continue to bash gays in such a way in order to fulfill their sick agenda of perverting homosexual conduct. This furthers the culture of dark perversion in the Vatican as pedophiles, no less, have in deed taken advantage of the situation and hijacked and blackmailed the Vatican, especially the pink clergy.
I call on the Pope to get rid of these dark and demonic forces. Purge all the closeted homos and abusive pervs and child molesters. The Church can, and will in the future, fully embrace human beings who are not perverted. Men who will have great respect for innocence of children, the sanctity and value of women, the wholeness of gay people, challenge the banking oligarchy, and who will make it their absolute mission to destroy, not gay marriage, but poverty.
We then bash the Church, not so it can go extinct, but so that it can serve a better purpose for the common good of all individuals and families. I will continue to bash it until it finally does (maybe until I am dead). But many gays are asking that the Church be utterly destroyed. I say: hold on a sec.
The Church is no doubt an anti-gay institution at the moment. And this is due to the people in it, not due to basic tenets of Catholic teaching (and no, the Catechism on homosexuality is NOT a tenet of Catholic teaching, but rather a mandate by the Church's government). Destroying it means that we will only destroy the vehicle of which these anti-gay parasites ride on. They will without a doubt regroup into another zombie church and continue their relentless gay bashing.
And that is what is going in Brazil. The Catholic country (the biggest of them all) is on the final brink of legalizing gay marriage. And by far, most Catholics are not upset about it. But according to this
new report, those who have left the Church are now being recruited by anti-gay extremist reactionary protestant evangelical churches with ties to teabaggers in the USA who are now striving for political control over the country. The last time I saw reactionaries take to the streets to sieze power like these hacks was in a black and white news reel that I couldn't understand because it was in German.
Be wary. These reactionary bigoted churches are micro-cells of hateful cesspools without any form of checks and balances or central governing control. Meaning, the Catholic Church at least has some form of governing body that can be taken over from within, a one single governing unit will be much more easier to reform than a bunch of smaller micro-cells hiding in the Amazon jungles.
The isolation and sense of self appointed righteousness of these homophobic "churches" can exaggerate anti-gay sentiments to the fullest, to the point of becoming violent. Just take a look at Northern Ireland for example. The Catholic Irish (who now support gay marriage) have been imposed and invaded for hundreds of years by reactionary protestants from Scotland and England. Today, protestant evangelical Northern Ireland is a wasteland of homophobic bigotry cultivated by the likes of Ian Paisley and his 'anti-sodomy' war against homosexuals.
In Brazil the Catholic Church is not only waning in political power, but also it is waning in attendance. You might think it is a good idea. I beg to differ.
Where did these people who once sat on the pews of the Catholic Church go? Their dissatisfaction is more accurately centered on the Church's disappointing track record on helping the poor and also the abuse of innocent children. So they are wooed by more 'charasmatic' (notice how homophobes are becoming so charasmatic lately?) pastors who like you and I also bash the Catholic Church, maybe for different reasons, maybe due to theological differences, but nonetheless are way out of left field when it comes to gays. They may hate the Catholic Church, but they also hate homos too. And sometimes they hate us more than the Church.
If former Catholics are now sitting on folding chairs in some rented space that used to sell cell phone accessories at a local shopping center spewing anti-gay hatred left and right instead of a Church with statues and pews where many of its adherents are having a conscious and philosophical debate on homosexuality, I would rather choose the latter than former.
