Don't flatter yourself, leo. I have no wish rubbish 'all that you stand for.I wish to rubbish you. You see, it is personal. It's entirely personal.
I find you and your posting style to be arrogant, bathetic, cantankerous, dishonest, emetic, fraudulent, gaseous, hypocritical, inconsistent, jejune, kakistocratic, lugubrious, magniloquent, nullifidian, obstreperous, pseudo-intellectual, quacksalverous, reductionist, school-marmy, tumid, ultracrepidarian, vacuous, witless, xenomaniacal, yellow-livered, and zabernistic.
And, trust me, I could very well go on. I don't disagree with 'all that you stand for'. It would be easier if I did. I generally agree with you, and I'm ashamed to have someone like you on my side. You are, as you rejoice in reminding us, a pensioner. Isn't it time that you grew up?

I am not on the side of those who, in their 20s, rubbish the experience of those LGBTs who were alive before you were born and who experience hatred from the church - some of them committed suicide. There is such a thing as brotherhood/sisterhood. Even the present Pope, hardly a liberal, admits that the Church has got things wrong/out of proportion.
Maybe I am being as ageist as you, but i might point out that I am not a 'pensioner' - the word usually applies to those aged 65 or over in receipt of a state pension. I am not. Merely early retired (teachers can retire at age 55, albeit on a reduced pension - young people become so wearing after 30 years of dealing with them).

What question? You haven't asked a question anywhere on this thread. Just to be sure, I went through and read all of your posts. Jesus, that was a waste of time.
By the way, I also think that you're asinine, boring, curmudgeonly, fuck-witted, illiterate, joyless, pedantic, pompous, self-indulgent, smug, snobbish, and uncritical. I was jut limiting myself to 26 of your most obvious qualities in my previous list.

There's a difference between acknowledging the wrongs in church history and/or current practice, and telling people that they'd be better off outside the Church. The former is inclusive, the latter exclusive. Oh, and by the way, I know plenty of older LGBT Christians, including people with academic specialisms in LGBT expressions of Christianity. They'd all think that you're wrong, too.
Oh, and by the way, you're also being censorious, sanctimonious, self-righteous and supercilious. What really baffles me is how someone with your combination of distinctly limited intellectual gifts, limited capacity for empathy, and total lack of humility managed to become a teacher, let alone a licensed lay minister or a spiritual director.

When you're doing my job so comprehensively for me with practically every post you emit, where's the need? Exhibit A. If I respond, I'm hounding you; if I don't I'm cowardly.
Since nothing seems to change your posting behaviour, I have resolved only to respond in Hell to your "refutations" when it either amuses me, or makes my blood-pressure reach critical levels not to, or - vanishingly seldom - you actually advance a point substantive to mine. Sometimes I need two of those boxes to be checked to make it feel worth my while.
Otherwise, as I say, where's the need?

Depends on how you understand the position of the Church. quote:

What all of them? Really? Well, I guess you know different older LGBT people from the ones I know/knew. quote:

Oh please, none of the (poor) qualities you cite are exactly in short supply in either the Church or the teaching profession.

Sticking up for one of the ship's (fairly regular) underdogs in Hell (because I like the guy) is hardly undermining the function and purpose of Hell. It's solidarity because I know how awful it feels sometimes.
The catch 22 is that the people I stick up for sometimes don't want or need my stickyupness yet they get blackened by my terrible, terrible ( ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif) ) reputation and I end up making things worse for them. Can't win.

My same sex partner and I have been together since before Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister. We have been unfailingly accepted as a couple in all the churches we have attended. I know one rather old fashioned back streets Anglo Catholic church in which there was only one straight man, and he, significantly enough, was disabled. And I found great support from the gospels in that Jesus gives no particular value to marriage or the family or breeding a further generation.
The institution that really caused us problems and was a source of hostility wasn’t the church. It was the Family. But I'm not going to slag off my parents on a public forum even anonymously.
From what he has said, leo had great problems with his family as well, and I would guess found support in the church or at least Christianity. That may be a cause of his unfailing combativeness, being a catholic with liberals, a liberal with catholics but always on his own.

And he has said something to the extent that he can't be bothered - which i take to mean that he doesn't know the answer and/or doesn't want to admit that he may be mistaken.

Not sure where you are coming from here but the kind of 'mentoring' i was referring to is used as an alternative to spiritual direction. I am thinking of a certain seminary that sends its students to someone who must bne no older that late-30s, must be ordained, and, so i hear frequently, discusses practical problems in ministry with a sort of 'pull yourself together.' mentality. It deals with the ordinand as a function rather than as a whole person.
'Mentoring' by the elder to the younger in many walks of life can be very valuable - I am still in touch with some former students with whom there had been some sort of uncle/niece/nephew thing, but that is not spiritual direction.

May I recommend a unit of CPE so you can examine your over the top feelings towards leo Bacchus? Or perhaps a psychotherapist? Surely you don't know leo that well. I believe it's called transference.

Ha, ha! I don't drive - never have - if my impatience with a supermarket trolley is any guide, I'd be dead and/or kill others within minutes of getting behind a wheel.

Leo, if I were gay and you were the last man on the planet, I wouldn't want to be in a romantic relationship with you. It pains me to be in same worldwide communion as you. You keep enticing me with claims that you will follow all of your many friends and swim the Tiber but you never do. Perhaps, you'll take you own advice and leave Christianity for Buddhism.
But I doubt it.

Sadly, as the first couple of pages of this thread seem to have disappeared into the ether - at least, they have for me - I can't quote from them. But then I probably wasn't going to anyway.
I was just going to repeat this: what precisely is it that I claimed that you "refuted" - and how?
Is it in the same way that you "refuted" Trisagion's comment that the founders of the Oxford Movement wouldn't have recognised your form of denominationalism as Catholic - by providing a "counter-example" that went even further to prove the case against you? I can only hope.

The key? Admit your feelings of personal inadequacy in the face of my consummate fabulosity. You then come to a place of peace and healing. From that point on there is the potential for you to grow into the full stature of Evensong one day (yes - even you).

You're kind the same as Leo, but without the authoritative tone. But you are a usual benchmark. If I agree with you, I'm probably wrong. Consummate fabulosity my arse!

Evensong leaves herself open to the barbs she gets on purpose. She thrives on negative attention. Ignore her.

If you ever go where angels fear to tread, then you will be greeted by Evensong. I sometimes think she dwells there permanently.

Oh is that how you justify your ignoring me on the purg "A Church" thread? I thought it was because I was pointing out the holes in your vacuous understanding of sacramental theology and you knew you were talking shit so were ignoring me.
Silly me.

Indeed. I feel like a new creation: thoroughly transformed. Why - it even feels like perhaps I might be the second raised from the dead.

No.
Or is that you don't understand sarcasm?
That would make sense actually considering how anal you are in some respects

I know giving Evensong the negative attention she craves so much is great, but if you really want to be sadistic, deprive her of it. It feels sooooo much better.
