Mamamontezz's Mental Rumpus Room

It's called Sin, stupid.

Well, finally the Church heirarchy has decided to stand up and demand that John Kerry follow with doctrine or suffer the consequences.

Bishop Sean O'Malley has told Kerry not to attempt to take Communion in a Catholic Church.

You know, the saddest thing about this is the nonsense that some liberal Catholics are tossing out about "Separation of Church and State." Wait a minute. Think about it. They want religious bodies, churches, denominations, not to issue directives or follow teachings contrary to political view, or hold their followers to standards more rigorous than the federal government.

So now, I imagine, because some municipalities allow same sex unions and call them a Marriage, that the Church must acknowledge these unions as Holy and allow their participants absolution and access to the rest of the sacraments? The Church must adjust to the current social mores instead of following those followed traditionally for centuries because a lot of arrogant church-goers demand it?

Sorry folks. Doesn't fly. If you want to worship God but hold beliefs counter to your Church, I suggest you find another denomination more suited to your belief system. It shouldn't be hard. I understand there are lots of them out there who place your self-esteem and ego above what is right. You can cherry-pick for one that cherry-picks specifically for its congregation.

In the mean time, stay away from the Communion rail.
