You got it a little backwards: The RC church belives that the institution is the “bride of Christ,” not that Christ is the bride of the church. When priests are ordained, they are said to be wedding themselves to the church (the bride) “in persona Christi” ie. in the person of Christ.

So, as part of the institution, a priest is a wife. As an individual priest, he is a surrogate husband. And, as a christian, he is a son of God, who as Christ, is also his brother.

Now does it make sense?

And Jesus is said to be the bride of the Church. Guess this means he is a bottom, or possibly a transsexual.

what people believe in still reeks of the earth is flat, the sun revolves around the earth, and the Nazi Pope is infallible.

Yes, he is a nazi. He just welcomed back into the church an excommunicated bishop Williamson, who is a holocaust denier.

If any of you gay people still are stuck to the church, I’ll loan you my gonads, so you get the hell out of it.

And let the freaks running it wonder more and more where the money is coming from. For thats all it is about anyway.

Other then raping people spiritually as well as physically in the name of their God.

Bring back trial separations. Especially when children are involved. Family counseling should be mandatory as part of the separation. Less might enter a marriage if they realized how hard it was going to be get out of it.

Also, common-law marriages, such as Texas has, should be eliminated. Just setting up house makes you married??? If a couple want the benefits of married then GET MARRIED.

Whether it passes or not, let all those heterosexuals experience what it feels like to have your life and love and civil rights printed out in black and white for total strangers to vote on while you stand by helpless.
