Catholic church cancels ‘incompatible’ concert by Dublin gay men’s choir
Priest wrote to choir to say event was ‘not compatible with our mission as a Roman Catholic parish church’
Why all those words when “we’re raging bigots” is so much shorter?
@aral so strange how a roman catholic church would ignore the words of the pope for their own personal beliefs, which inspire hatred and segregation rather than unity and community
@maika The pope, you say?
@aral it's not ideal but he's nearly 90 so the fact he's even willing to openly support the LGBT community in public is a huge boon given what group we're talking about. I imagine it's likely just old habits dying hard. He has pushed for change in the church in terms of queer acceptance and I think that shouldn't be overlooked because of the fact he said bad words behind closed doors.
@maika Yeah, I guess some heads of horrible patriarchal institutions are better than others.
