Reposting from Main: A pastor was recently removed from a church b/c he burned a rainbow banner that had been hanging over the altar. He claimed he was exorcising it....sigh.

Oh jeez. Idiot.

Church protects their own just like our Government protects their own...if the Church can get away with hiding behind their Religious BS then what incentive does the Government have to not do the same when the majority are Conservative Christian Right? Leadership is not based on compassion for fellow man but rather biased, hateful, sexually repressed
male dominance. The Church is running this country more and more and until Separation of Church and State are reestablished there will never be true equality for anyone ... The ignorant fools that are constantly given the keys to the Government were put their to serve a purpose...help the Church rule mankind...add 10% tithe and you have a self regenerating perfect storm that is now rapidly steamrolling legislation that will destroy all the progress that has been made.

I’m glad to hear he was removed. I however I have little hope that the asinine Catholic Church higher-ups really give a flying rat’s rear-end about GLBT+. They were probably worried about another black-eye in the press

@MrLizard agreed. Many small steps still equal progress

@MrLizard There’s a positive in them voicing the hatred. That doesn’t fly, anymore, so it would pull more away from the organization much faster. At this stage I’d like to see the entire organization exposed as fraud.

Result!

I'm glad to see that the Catholic Church standing up against this kind of hatred within its own organisation. Regardless of whether you believe gay sex is a sin or not, aren't they supposed to hate the sin, but still love the sinner?

Perhaps the next potential rainbow flag burner will think about his future with his church before he lights the match.

I would respectfully disagree...I don't believe for one picosecond the church was taking a stand against hatred...I think they were trying to cover their asses and bury the publicity to divert attention from their child sex abuse scandals which never seems to end...the Pope is a coward as are the Ruling College of Cardinals and I would bet the majority of them are just as guilt. Namaste

@AncientNight IMV, the issue isn’t really about what The Vatican does or doesn’t do. It’s about the members of this organization who are overlooking these crimes in favor of the abuser. That, would constitute an abusive parent crime if perpetraited by a parent. In a sense this is exactly that but, in any event, what makes the organization powerful is the members.
