New York’s gay Irish keep mass attendance alive

How dare you call this gathering of sinners in a Protestant church a "mass"?These people are completely outside the Roman Church and will always remain so.

On the contrary I haven't told others what to do with their time or lives, GerogeDillion. It's too bad you're reduced to making claims up to support your insupportable contentions.

hollaback, I'd say you're the stupidest bigot here, and that's a title on which you have a lot of competitors. You support the use of condoms with your boyfriend or whoever else you wind up sleeping with, which is entirely your right. But what makes you an utter imbecile and bigot and a totally repulsive fanatic, is that you tell members of another faith what to do or believe. Buzz off, you utter imbecile, mind your own business. Fascist creep.

The Catholic church cannot endorse sexual acts outside of marriage, whether it be hetereosexual or homosexual. Anyone receiving Holy Communion (the body, blood, soul and divinity of Our Lord) in a state of mortal sin is committing a sacrilege. Like it or lump it - it's a fact. The world may change but God does not.

Thin skinned when it comes to yourself, GeorgeDillion, but not slow to give offense to others, ain't ya? That was quite a rant. It changes nothing about the truth of my claims however; in the 1980's the Church hierarchy opposed the distribution of condoms as an AIDS prevention measure. I personally don't think pointing that out makes me a bigot, but rather a historian.

hollaback--Lay off your stupid insults. You've attacked other posters here, but if you attack me I'll hit right back. You're a stupid fool, go back to whatever corner you crept out of. You're an idiotic religious bigot. You're not a Catholic, that's fine. But that doesn't give you the right to make stupid thuggish and bigoted attacks on Catholics. Some Catholics will turn the other cheek. I won't, you stupid idiot. Ignorant bigoted jerk. What a waste of space you are. Go back to your buddies in the KKK and other anti-catholic fanatical organizations. You won't bully me, you moron.

Thank God for Dignity and Sunshine Cathedral in Florida. Gay people need God and spirituality just as much as anyone.

The future of the US Catholic Church? Ultra-conservatives and gays.

what does it mean to be 'roman catholic?'.............what is the difference between being a 'sexually active gay <>' [or, an married couple practicing [horrors] ABC; and a protestant from any tradition? i am curious how folks delineate the groupings

GeorgeDillion, do you realize you just made your sexuality public whilst claiming you always keep it to yourself? I think you're the worst type of thoughtless homophobe: the type who think they have a sexuality and gay people have a problem. I am old enough to remember how the Church in New York refused to minister to the gay community here during the darkest years of the AIDS crisis in the 1980's. You say gays desecrated St. Patrick's Cathedral, I say Archbishop O'Connor desecrated Christ's teaching.

It is hardly surprising. Mass is extraordinarily camp. Those clothes ... and those SHOES ...

Another really nutty article by the crazy Irish central writers. I am old enough to remember when some New York homosexuals (I don't blame them all) interrupted a mass at St Patrick's Cathedral and desecrated the Sacred Host. I never understood how this guy Fay managed to get into our country and stay here. He has no talents that I am aware of. He's another argument against Mass Immigration. The fact is that thousands of homosexuals attend mass every Sunday throughout the USA, just like thousands of homosexuals march in St Patrick's Day parades. They just keep their sexuality to themselves, just like I do.
