College Gay Activists Denied Communion in MN Church

[Cap'n Cat]

That's right, Hen. Read it again and learn.

OK, read it again. It only confirms that you only know what you read about Catholics. You obviously didn't listen to any sermons when you did attend mass if you're going to stand by that idiotic comment.

Brother Hen,
1975 came and went for me. Cannot say the same thing for the Cult. It's a new day. Your cult has not adapted to the new realities, never mind the fact that it is violating its own precepts about love and such.


As well, as stated above, when this becomes a civil rights issue, as it has, it's a whole new ballgame in which the Church is doomed to be shut out.

[Cap'n Cat]

Not only that, it is a total myth that a tax-exempt entity cannot engage in political activity. They can and do all the time, and it has no effect on their tax-exempt status, so long as the activity does not constitute a "substantial" part of their overall activities. Section 503(c)(3) of the IRS Code allows for certain not-for-profit corporations to qualify for tax exempt status, so long as “no substantial part of the activities of which is carrying on propaganda, or otherwise attempting, to influence legislation (except as otherwise provided in subsection (h)), and which does not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.” The IRS allows churches to try to influence legislation because overall such activities are "insubstantial" when weighed against the overall activities of the churches.

Yeah, Joe, but that's when the most controversial thing that ever came to light about the RCC was bingo slush funds!!!

Things has changed, Bud!!!!

"You were right Hen. Once again I was talking out my ass hoping nobody would call me out." Just say it Cap.

Yeah, great, Joe, but what would Jesus do?

Why are you (and your children) involved in a cult that bashes gays?

[Col Hogan]

WHen the Church does take a position on a political issue...I'll be right there with you...

But since homosexuality has been a morals issue for centuries, you can't just hijack it now and say its a political issue...

It is political because it's a civil rights/civil liberties issue

Also an equal taxation issue

So, if YOU decide something a certain religion teaches doesn't meet your likes...you can just declare it political and the religion has to change its teaching...

Is that what you are saying???

Nice post, Dodger Joe!

You take your children to see this asshole every Sunday:



You also force them to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Yeah, Hen, you aint in a cult.

Who gives a fuck, your racket should be taxed. The catholic church is no different than McDonalds and Home Depot, well the latter are more christ-like, but it's a business, plain and simple.

not at all

this issue is not substantially different at all from any other civil rights issue

it may have started out as a religious issue, but today is a straight forward civil rights issue

not really all that unlike women having the right to vote, equal educational oportunities for minorities, inter racial marriage, etc etc etc

If the church wants to take a stand against the fundamental civil rights issue of the day....................

all while giving lip service to that peace and love bullshit.........................

What B.S....you start out saying "Not at all"...then basically say the opposite...

At least be honest...you want the Catholic Church to change its teaching to comply with YOUR beliefs...

Yeah, Hen, you aint in a cult.

Yup, my poor kids are being exposed to compassion, charity, honesty, respect for life... the horror.

I can't POSSIBLY afford the four hours it would take me to respond to that and bury you again!

what I "believe" doesn't matter

Plain and simple this is a matter of Civil Rights Law

The Catholic Church is neither a cult nor bashes gays. I answer all serious questions, though.

Please, professor, tell me what Civil Rights Law mandates that the Catholic Church must give Holy Communion to a person who openly protests its teachings....

I'll wait right over here...

No, wait a minute, Hoagie's right on this one. The Ku Klux Klan didn't admit blacks and, thus, did not allow them to partake of their rituals. There remain hundreds of country clubs and other such facilities in America that do the same. Freedom of association, I suppose.

That being said, I hope you guys are proud.




I'm afraid the exclusivity folks have us on a technicality.

Well, it worked, Jose'. I hit the phone interview equivalent of a walk off grand slam, I think! Answered all their brutal behavioral questions with elan and nailed the technical q's with aplomb. Did not hurt that the Plant Manager I was interviewing with played football at Missouri State in the late 70's and early 80's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



We'll see what happens. I'm positive about it.

[Wedgebuster]

I was told by the local Priest a few years back, that non Catholics and Catholics who have not gone to confession lately can become ill, and even die from taking the Eucharist.

He was serious.

Wonder if the ecumenical host is made with organics and free range wheat.

No, wait a minute, Hoagie's right on this one. But I have to make fun of him or I could not live with myself. There remain hundreds of religions in America that do the same, and it really chaps my fat ass. Freedom of association, I suppose.

That being said, I hope you guys are proud.

I knew the prayer would work because I asked for the intercession of Santa Vincenzo Lombardi di Fordhamensis, because he is the patron saint of football players and he shares your birthday.

And then, bam, the football connection works it for you.

Still a doubter?
