He’s got a lot of baggage. And brand-new running shoes.

The Big Book of Answers. I would rather have questions that are unanswered than answers that are unquestioned.

A religion that does not invite scrutiny is a cult.

Good old days – when people knew their place: for Negros, or colored people (or some called them other names) it was the back of the bus, for LGBT (they were called “queers” back then) it was in the closet, for women it was barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen.

I fail to see what was so good about them.

Folks like that never seem to think that Pride is a sin. Or self-righteousness.

They bear so little resemblance to Jesus, and such a remarkable resemblance to the Pharisees he condemned.

There used to be a delivery company named “G.O.D.” Guaranteed Overnight Delivery. The side of their trucks said “G.O.D.” in gigantic letters.

My brother said, “You know they’re Christians, because only Christians are capable of that sort of blasphemy.”

There needs to be a lead singer and 6 backup dancers dressed like him doing the “Vatican Rag”

. . . true “conflict of faith”. :’(

And the point is………?

I love how the chaplains profile echoes Washington ‘s

Shouldn’t he be wearing a MAGA hat?

A thought…. some dioceses in the US cannot even staff their own parishes. How is it that the “chaplain” thinks that the group has that much influence? Most new priests are from Latin America and Africa.

Obviously, those people are to be despised, not coddled like altar boy diddling priests.
