Oh Lord, pray for us...we might be going against your church's teaching but not your doctrine. Part 2

So I went to my job today at the church and I saw the Opus Dei priest talking with our main priest about who did what. So my priest said that the church is cleaned and manteined by me and that seemed to piss off the Opus Dei priest. I think he had some girl problems as a kid...or as Jay puts it really, really jealous of the fact that I and the other workers are born female. Jay is a little bit whacked in the head for a 13-year-old boy who hits on his friends even though they beat him up every time...but that is how I met him and got him to join the GSA youth group. Well yeah I was fixing the heater when the Opus Dei priest came along and said, "Why were you in the closet?" I being occupied at the moment mistook what he said and said, "Well I am still in the closet..." The Opus Dei stared, and I took that as an opportunity to finish my job and run for it. I mean my priest knows what we are doing and all; but when the Opus Dei took me into the priest's office to make me explain what I said. My priest acts like he was surprised; and said to the Opus Dei, "Nothing is wrong with loving another human being that deeply. It justs forbids them to participate in sexual activities because it provides no chance of creating new life." Of course, the Opus Dei was all like We must show her the light and all that jazz. My priest response was "This is San Francisco, is it not?" and walked away. The Opus Dei was just dumbfounded. Sadly, now the only adults I am out to is the Priest, the Opus Dei Priest, and my psychologist. All of these people can easily spill to my parents unless of course the pact of confidentiality applies to all of these and I think it does. The GSA youth group may start soon if we can find an adult to sponser our group and enough people to join.

I am also catholic and I don'

I am also catholic and I don't really have one priest that I've told, but many...since i don't really belong to any one church around here. Anyway, they all pretty much said the same thing as your priest did, as to loving a member of the same sex. I guess the true sin lies in the sexual act...
Some priests completely disreguarded the things that bothered me the most, like that issue...even though it doesn't bother me that i love someone of the same sex, it just bothers me that I'm not supposed to have a future with anyone, i guess.

Anyway, don't be scared of priests telling anyone about you...just go on with life and don't let what the opus dei said get to you.

I not afraid about what the O

I not afraid about what the Opus Dei priest will say, it is just that I am afraid that if we go through with the GSA youth group then we would lose membership again. Then my parish will close again...my sisters' school depends on that church to get much needed funds to update the school, I mean that's because the school is still using many items from the 1950's or the stuff that the teachers can scanvenger from the dumpsters of the local Catholic and Public High Schools. I mean I don't want to have to go back to meeting my 8th grade teacher in the back of the Lowell HS in order to mooch off their dumpsters or my sisters having to go to confirmation camp at the Cathedral that is being used to shelter victims of the hurricaine. So yeah, I still want this group to start but I don't want to loose membership.

I love Integra Wingates Hellsing!...Heh I am so sad, I am in love with a fictional character. Wait I can lie to my self, I have been doing that for the past 16 years.
