ykwgmg: catholics


the stupid pope wants you to pray before you have sex. "you" being heterosexual married couples, because the rest of us should be living pleasure-less lives like the few catholic priests who don't give into their temptations to molest children. OYRGMAFB. god, catholics are just endlessly messed up*. listen to this ridiculousness:

"to place within us love that truly gives, tenderness that truly unites, self-offering that tells the truth and does not deceive, forgiveness that truly receives, loving physical union that welcome...open our hearts to you, to each other and to the goodness of your will...cover our poverty in the richness of your mercy and forgiveness. clothe us in true dignity and take to yourself our shared aspirations, for your glory, for ever and ever."

i don't know about you, but i.am.HOT. let's be honest, even for catholic gobbledygoop, this prayer isn't even well written. "self-offering that tells the truth and does not deceive". in addition to being nonsensical, that's redundant.

the prayer is part of the prayer book for spouses, yet another manual to teach catholics how to repress themselves, since the bible and the catechism aren't enough.

rev paul hendricks, the auxiliary bishop of southwark said "he thought the prayer's inclusion [in the book] was 'brave but good'." catholics encouraging more praying is brave? doing more of something you already do in excess, isn't brave. that's called gluttony, it's one of the seven deadly sins, and that's a big deal. so cut it out.

*i was raised catholic and attended catholic schools from K-12th grade. so i can say whatever i want.
