ezs note: I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors, who gave me a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure BS. Fortunately, though, Ed saves the day. I may not see every line from side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him.
By the way, if you're free, Ed broadcasts live on 1) most Saturday nights at 7:30 pm, and 2) most Wednesday afternoons at 12:00 pm, and 3) Monday afternoon also at 12:00 (Eastern time). (other time zones will vary) (APPROXIMATE) If you click on in the times indicated. you'll see a little circular bloggette in the upper corner indicating "Church Without Walls - live" and today's date. Click in this area, and with luck, you'll be in! The correct address will be:
ezs note: Oh, Francis. We must talk. When Archbishop Carlson was asked about transgender issues, this is what he said: Asked whether the pope then gave the bishops any advice on how to handle the transgender debate, Archbishop Carlson said the pope touched on the way proponents believe people are "all one and that there's no difference, which would fly in the face of what (St.) John Paul II talked about on complementarity and it would fly in the face of the dignity of the woman and the dignity of the man, that we could just change into whatever we wanted." This is akin to casually choosing rice instead of spaghetti in my favorite restaurant, Ahem... NO, IT'S NOT. In most states, to have surgery performed, there is a rigorous examination as to whether this person is 'really' transgender. Am I saying that doctors, psychologists, and surgeons are absolutely perfect? No, not at all. But neither are you.
