I went to the Cathedral for the first time in years this evening. It was the Catholic Eventide observation, and I was asked to record the pipe organ and choir. I was shocked by the sermon, it included 2 of the most obnoxious passages from the modern bible "slaves obey..." and the classic Lott's wife was naughty so we turned her into salt and went after raping her daughters. I won't attempt to be nice to Catholicism again.

yes! I share your anger

Crimes such as rape, murder, pedophilia and fraud are criminal acts and should be atoned thru embellished sermons that have no business casting judgement on pathological aberrations that were committed with much thought and deceit. It is up to society to establish a just rebuttal and imprisonment upon such persons who if are able to afford a libelous attorney will be set free to encourage others and repeat his wanton ways without fear of reprisal.

Should'nt. I missed the 'nt in the second line.

The cadavers that were in attendance really don't know what is true and could care less because they've been so numbly doing the same thing for most of their lives. They all believe that if a Mass Murderer or Pedophile makes an act of contrition then he will be forgive on his deathbed. And it goes on and on but I'll save it for others to chime in on some of the embellished fables that they have had to sit thru till they finally decided that there were better things to make ones outlook more realistic and went and joined Agnostics.com Please hold the applause until some yarns are related as I'm sure their are some real hair raisers to be told.

Ahh, yes. I remember that one well. He turned Lott's wife into a pillow of salt! 😮

I wonder if they still preach the idea that infants that die before they are baptised will never enter the 'Kingdom of Heaven' but go permanently to a dark place (Hades). Also when I married, my wife, who is a Roman Catholic , but not a practicing one, she told me that it's basic doctrine that because she re-married, the children from her previous marriage have now become bastards. What an obnoxious religion.

I hope you charged them a hefty fee.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure they can afford it. With all that extortion they do to their church goers.

I am a f***ing idiot so I didn't charge them anything!

@Rufus_Maximus Lighten up sweetie, you had good intentions. Next time you'll know better.

It is all allegorical. In the modern sense they don't mean slaves, it's minimum wage workers, and Lott's wife didn't turn into a pillar of salt, she just drank Margaritas until she died of boredom, and her daughters? They were charter members of Me Too.

Who the hell was the speaker. that's archaic

That is amazing! These days...I thought were the modern times...where we treat our 'fellow man' with respect and dignity. What you reported is not respectful nor sees fellow citizens as 'deserving.' That seems like a put down for the female, which effects everyone one way or the other? In fact, it makes me wonder if, a great portion of this nation has been 'sideswiped' into believing...that no one deserves to be "lifted up' and promoted to our higher nature. That in fact...there is no such thing, as 'our higher nature!' This may well be a tactic to keep people confused, so the populace want rise up against the ESTABLISHMENT? I expect to read something like this from the dark ages...not from the modern day Catholic Church!

Slaves obey.

Just. F'n. Wow.

That's a message of love and peace ?

Same shit, different day. My question is why you went back for sloppy seconds?

They asked me to record their choir and pipe organ. It's rare to get the chance to record an instrument like that as there are so few of them, and I also thought that it would be nice for the choir to have a good recording of themselves (there are many children in it).

I had the impression that our diocese was very moderate, given that the current priest is a woman.

Well recording pipe organs is always an interesting technical challenge at least.

I have actually heard "slaves, obey your masters" applied to employees obeying their employers, which sort of tells you how they view worker's rights.

The priest must have been refused sex by an alter boy, thus feeling mean, or he is just a mean drunk.

It's a female priest in our diocese... I actually thought that being a woman she might be more progressive. Nope.

Oh boy! That's pretty old timey. And savage? Gees.

The worst Mass I ever recall was the one pulled out on Good Friday? The one where the congregations gets to betray Jesus. That one could curl your hair.

The catholics are some of the worst offenders there are when it comes to violence against others.

sorry the protestants were just as bad. they've always been bigoted to the rest especially north of the rio grande they perfected slavery. made it a commodity sold on the stock exchange

@markdevenish Oh, no worries, I wouldn't dream of leaving them out! When Henry VIII started the Church of England, they killed scores of catholics. Then there was the Reformation. And all the witch trials and executions. And the "christians" were always killing jews whenever they got the chance. The Inquisitions killed a lot of jews, too.
