I've said it before and I'll say it again

Fuck the Catholic Church. There, that's a nice thought going into this Easter weekend, isn't it? You may well ask, what brought this on? Well, I'll tell you.
Leah Vader and Lynne Huskinson, a lesbian couple who got married in Canada last August, sent a letter recently to their state legislator decrying a Wyoming bill that would deny recognition of same-sex marriages. The lawmaker read the letter on the floor of the Legislature.

Soon after, the local paper interviewed the couple on Ash Wednesday and ran a story and pictures of them with ash on their foreheads, a mark of their Roman Catholic faith.

It wasn't long after that that the couple received a notice from their parish church telling them they have been barred from receiving Communion.

There's more if you can take it. In the way of such things, it gets so much more hypocritical.

The Catholic Church serves no damn good purpose (except to tell budding young women that sex is sinful, thus making it more exciting to them, and then sending them out into the world in uniforms that are best described as: Convenient. Ah, what memories)
