The selective application of rules to hide behind bigotry, the hypocrisy that "we are all sinners" yet only certain sins get punished -- it just seems so inconsistent and contradictory. <br /><br />Religious people do a lot of good, but organized religion itself is so easily hijacked by people who think they know better, but they don't.<br /><br />You on the other hand are such a positive role model for your church, it gives me hope.fan of caseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-64549376332667352722012-03-04T11:48:11.036-05:002012-03-04T11:48:11.036-05:00Excellent post.

You see a cross and realize all the hatred that people who hold it up as their symbol throw at you. Yet, as you point out, it more rightfully symbolizes the sacrifice of Jesus to save us from our sins. <br /><br />That priest ought to be disbarred (or whatever it is they do). If he is going to deny Barbara communion based on her sin, then he must not serve many people communion because we all sin. What a loser. <br /><br />Peace <3<br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-34731182940546885312012-03-04T10:03:03.195-05:002012-03-04T10:03:03.195-05:00Well writen and very insightful...Thanks, especial...Well writen and very insightful...Thanks, especially on a Sunday Morning!!
