I believe it all, but I probably could have come across with a little more restraint.Odysseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028190531437571201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-70622468645505118802007-09-12T12:46:00.000-07:002007-09-12T12:46:00.000-07:00At my part-time secretarial job, there is a new em...At my part-time secretarial job, there is a new employee who is lesbian. In fact, in her first sentence to me, she had no problem relating that fact. She and her partner returned here from San Francisco to be by her aging parents. She is a nice person, and if I knew nothing of her "relationship" I'd have absolutely no problem working with her. However, she seems to have to "prove" her lesbianism (if that makes sense). She describes her relationship with her partner to me/others as that of an "old" married couple. Actually, she just came back from Canada where she did marry her partner. It just seems as if any conversation revolves around telling us of her "gayness". And an added bonus, she said "well, you know, I grew up Catholic." I know she is aware I'm Catholic and married with 6 kids. Do I just remain silent when she describes herself and her seemingly proud gayness? I think I know the answer, just lead by example, but truthfully, I'm thinking God has placed her in my life for a reason and, if so, do I do/say anything differently?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-14570757587861630582007-09-12T12:40:00.000-07:002007-09-12T12:40:00.000-07:00Rob,I wish you were just being your normally witty...Rob,<BR/><BR/>I wish you were just being your normally witty self.<BR/><BR/>On my way back to the parish today there was a show featuring polygamists (and there are many) who are practicing in the USA as well as polygamist activists groups/lobbyists. <BR/><BR/>Once the door is opened it cannot be shut.<BR/><BR/>Similarly in the 1930s ALL Christian denominations agreed with the Catholic stance on contraception. 70 some odd years later we have moved all the way to abortion with some pushing for infanticide and persons with dissabilities protesting at our capitol - THE CAPITOL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - because they fear that their lives are threatened by the direction our country is going in its caring less for the sanctity of life - what we say is a basic right.<BR/><BR/>*sigh*Fr.

I am not joking. This is what will be. If you think "No, that's going too far," remember that a man married another man in IOWA(!) last week. Remember that we already chew up and spit out over a million infants a year. <BR/><BR/>Believe me now? It's coming. Just wait. The next decade is going to be full of evil.
