Yet each and both of them are among the most ungenerous and pinched-in-spirit sorts. Somehow, neither their hearts or minds, much less both, are to be demanded to offer (much less have, in order to give) anything close to what they got, what they got despite their deceptions, what they got despite their selfish ambitions, what they got despite lying about and even betraying fundamental relationships that were, apparently, convenient at one time but later became both disposable and easily humiliated later. The fact that McGreevey and Robinson ultimately triumphed does not change any of that. And what I find execrable about them--believe it or not, and at this point I don't care anymore whether you do or do not--has precisely -0- to do with their sexual orientation and everything to do with with their utter, cynical betrayals of real people in their lives and their willingness to sacrifice pretty much everything and anyone to their ambition[s]. <br /><br />rcommalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301180339680504471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-51674049861877175542013-03-29T23:16:40.721-05:002013-03-29T23:16:40.721-05:00The Godfather wrote:

The Catholic Church just doesn't think <i>it feels soooooo good</i> is sufficient justification for everything, even though that puts them seriously out of step with the rest of the 21st century, for whom <i>sexual gratification</i> is apparently the ne plus ultra of human attainment and fulfillment, and <i>anything</i> whatsoever is justifiable in its pursuit.<br /><br />The Church has no problem with homosexual feelings and urges, the same way it has no problem with the heterosexual urges of priests, or the twinges of lust between a man, celibate for 20 years, married to a quadriplegic woman, and his comely next door neighbor. All are human, beloved of Christ, and to be accepted and cherished on that basis.<br /><br />But the Church <i>requires</i> you to put the good of your soul above the cravings of your body. The man married to the quadriplegic is expected to <i>remain</i> celibate for the rest of his (or his wife's) life, because he puts the sacrament of marriage above the really great feeling of sliding his dick into another woman. The priest, too, is expected to simply not indulge his lustful fantasies of certain parishioners. And the gay man is, also, expected -- not to <i>not have</i> his impulses, or be shamed or judged for them, but simply <i>not to act on them</i>.<br /><br />Nor is this particularly anti-gay, as low-information observers maintain. The Church feels the same way about <i>every</i> act of intercourse that is not open, as they say, to the gift of life. If you are not prepared to create and rear children, or if it is inappropriate, or impossible, then you are not supposed to Do It. That's why you're supposed to cross your legs instead of using a rubber.<br /><br />You may not agree with the philosophy, of course. But it is <i>not</i> motivated by blind animus, or prejudice, and it is a hell of a lot more sophisticated and...well, <i>elevated</i> above the depressingly squalid cheap imitation epicureanism that passes for high morality these days.Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10138276375040381842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-64527206429681596192013-03-29T22:29:51.284-05:002013-03-29T22:29:51.284-05:00like most things Pelosi, you unfortunately had to ...like most things Pelosi, you unfortunately had to watch the film to find out what's in it.Real Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07457301904108193495noreply@blogger.com
