yeah i wonder about some of our friends/acquintance who have since gone on to be priests or work in the church that i know are against this sort of excommunication bullshit

[belladonnalin]

Yeah, I wonder how it's affecting them. Because, you know, it's a faith that they love.

Who are we, as men, to say to women, “Our call is valid, but yours is not.” Who are we to tamper with G_d’s call?">

That gives me hope.

[belladonnalin]

I'm glad. I think of you, too, in my list of people for whom this is so deeply personal.

[longtime_lurker]

Oh, Lord. This rang way too true to me.

[belladonnalin]

Me too. I think that if I'd found liberation theology before I left the christian church as a whole, I'd probably be a Catholic. There are some pretty rockin' folk in that church.

[belladonnalin]

*nod* I think that was expected by a lot of people in the church, too.

It's weird to have it be more personal for me - I have never been Catholic, but now it's so important to people I care about that it hits me harder.

I'd read about this, but I didn't realise it was Ray Bourgeois
