1000 Dinosau…errr…Priests Sign Letter About Ickiness of Gay Marriage

In the letter, which is one of the biggest open letters of its type ever written, the priests claim that same-sex marriage could threaten freedoms in a way that was last seen during centuries of persecution of Catholics in England.

The letter, signed by 1054 priests as well as 13 bishops, abbots and other senior Catholic figures, expresses fears that the simple acts of practising or speaking about their faith will be severely limited.

Who are these people, and how are they unable to read the writing on the wall that is so clearly being lit with a pair of tasteful sconces from Restoration Hardware? Imagine throwing a houseparty and inviting 100 pals, a real rager. Woohoo! Fun! Good times! Etc! (Especially ETC!)

Now imagine 10 of your houseguests handing you a letter at 3 AM demanding that you allow them to continue partying in your living room long after you’ve run out of beer or the desire to still be awake for the day. Oh, and they want you to put on their playlist with like, eleven Black Eyed Peas remixes, too. Would receiving such a letter convince you to do a beer run and soak in the sweet sounds of Will.i.am until dawn? No! It’s my house and you’re being ridiculous! GTFO!

Honestly, some people.

Attention homophobes in homorobes clutching your belief in an all-loving, all-knowing God in order to discriminate and hate, your goose is cooked. The jig is up. Gay marriage, nay, marriage equality is here. There is no debate to be had. This is the status quo from here on out. Get with the program.

A letter! Honestly…

The irony, of course, is that the majority of those priests are gay.

So, let’s be very clear about this. Supposedly celibate (yeah, right) priests are supposed to have a handle on what is or is not acceptable regarding marriages.

Let’s see. How many of the 8 identified types of marriage that are clearly – CLEARLY – outlined in the Bible are currently being recognized by the Catholic Church?

ONE.

There are 8 in the Bible. The Church insists that there’s only ONE. Thus, THEY are LIARS.

But the ULTIMATE irony is this. They are not in any position whatsoever to dictate to ANYONE about marriage because it is a legal contract between consenting adults. It is not in anyway whatsoever an invention of the Catholic Church. Period.

Thank you so much for stating that ‘marriage = legal contract’. It is and always has been since the concept was invented not-all-that-long-ago. And since its inception it’s undergone countless revisions and redefinitions. The proponents of the old ways are wrong on two counts: first, even if marriage was an ‘ancient and immutable’ tradition defined as strictly limited to a union of one man and one woman, it would just mean that humanity has been doing it wrong for a really long time, and second, marriage is certainly NOT ancient and immutable. Straight people will (and for the most part already have) adapt to a definition of marriage that includes everyone.

Evangelos

Everyone knows that the Catholic church cannot tolerate consenting same sex adult pairs in love… Only non consenting choir boys and priesty pedophiles are allowed any homo shenanigans (homonigans?) in “God’s House”… Pay attention people!
