Washington DC Adult Entertainment: A Gay Catholic Now?
Written on November 4, 2009 – 6:49 pm | by larrylibido
It is time to demand that gay priests who are actively fighting against the dignity of gay people own their enmeshment in injustice, stigmatization and cruelty. It is time to reveal them in this respect as the enemies of the Gospels, not the champions. Here is a letter many people – straight and gay – will soon be writing to their parish priests. It rings with the heart-ache that gay Catholics and gay people in many other faith traditions still feel. And it is, in a deep way, simply true:
Dear Father Andrew:
We have shared the celebration of Mass of universal inclusion for 18
years. Homeless, doctors, addicts, plumbers, prostitutes, trash
collectors, gang members, elderly, boomers, young adults, teens, babies
of all colors, races, genders gathered in common purpose — to give
thanks for blessings and rejoice in the goodness that can come from
humanity. You provided a unique sanctuary for us all — rich or poor,
educated or not, gay or straight. No one had any fear; none were
rejected.
