Madpriest's Wisdom

Jonathan, AKA Madpriest, resides in the United Kingdom. He has a blog. Of Course I Could Be Wrong which I read daily. He is a friend of the Boy Bishop Miles (as he has christened Miles) and was a great support when Max was passing. I thought that I would share some of his "thoughts for the day" which I stole directly from his blog.

The most impossible people to reason with are those who suffer from the double defect of never listening to anybody else coupled with the complete inability to work things out for themselves.
I don't know why Roman Catholics get so upset about the fact that members of their denomination are banned from ever becoming head of state in England. I mean, I'm sure we will overturn this old law just as soon as a non-Catholic can become head of state in the Vatican.

It is only ever the dirty laundry that complains about being aired in public.
I have read, or have listened to, words from the Bible almost everyday of my life and I believe I can now say, without any doubt, that there are two great evils that a person can commit: hurting people and hypocrisy. On these two sins hang all that is evil and all who promote evil.



I wonder what percentage of life long celibate males get their perception of "the female role" from pornography. I would guess that a fair percentage of celibate priests masturbate and use pornography whilst doing so. If their only experience of women being intimate is women being submissive and "man-pleasing" this might lead to a very unhealthy and untrue view of women that could explain the pastoral view of women prevalent in the RC priesthood and hierarchy.


I know. Why don't all the different faith groups (religions, denominations, factions, cults etc.) ask Benny if they can have a "worship space" inside the walls of that "independent nation state," the Vatican. If he says no, then the governments of the independent nation states where each group is based should politely (at first) ask the Roman Catholics to leave their country.

There are plenty of perfectly good explanations as to why a man who has enjoyed a same sex relationship could marry a woman and be happy and sexually fulfilled. For example, he might be bisexual, on the transsexual spectrum or just not choosy. But none of these reasons would allow him to call himself "gay" as in the generally accepted, specific meaning of the word. Therefore, a man who calls himself "ex-gay" is either telling a lie or living a lie. The opposite of "gay" is not "straight." The opposite of "gay" is "not gay."
