oh FFS. Reclaiming the #LoveWins hashtag

I don't understand this. LOL.

In somewhat related news, I hate when everybody on Facebook gets sucked into changing their profile photos to demonstrate support of [whatever is happening], and then you look like an asshole if you don't.

I HATE THIS TOO!!

There is a mega church around here whose people all have "Love Wins!" on their bumper stickers. It's been around forever. I don't know what it means in their context though.

I don't have a rainbow FB profile pic.  I am so beyond thrilled that SCOTUS agrees Love is love.  But I'm the asshole who isn't changing my pic.

Related- I have not seen ONE profile picture that doesn't look seriously better with the rainbow filter. It's reality flattering. I will be disappointed when it goes away & I have to look at boring filters again.

I can't not think of this book: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004IWR3CE?ie=UTF8&redirectFromSS=1&pc_redir=T1&noEncodingTag=1&fp=1

It's written by a rather liberal Christian who believes that basically everyone in the world ever goes to heaven.

A new command I give to you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another = #LoveWins

This is the base of what the Episcopal church believe. 

I belong to an Episcopal and a Catholic facebook group. Yesterday my feed looked like "Yay" from the Episcopal group and "Pray for us" from the Catholic group.
 I know there are so many cool Catholics out there though who support gay marriage. I don't know if I'm just not coming across them or if they are afraid of backlash and staying quiet.

Tamb my DH was pretty agnostic and still is some days. He loves our church. However you really need to find a good cathedral Episcopal church. Some of the small churches, especially in the south can be as bad as southern Baptists. Our church still has many members (mostly seniors) who are NOT in support of gay marriage at all. But they are outnumbered so they keep their yap shut, lol.

I know in the northeast there are awesome Catholic churches but here central VA not so much.

There's a Jesuit priest on Facebook who is being really supportive and basically telling the homophobes to fuck off. H is pleased because he went to a Jesuit HS. His name is Fr. James Martin, SJ.

I've been liking his stuff for a while now. I love him. Jesuits are the best! In stark contrast to asshole Chaput and my parish priest (which makes me sad bc I like him a lot - the parish guy, not Chaput)

Didn't the Pope recently say something about focusing more on income inequality and less on abortion and gay marriage? Something about people minding their own sins and not worrying about others?

Way to listen to your infallible leader guys.

I couldn't roll my eyes hard enough at Chaput's statement yesterday. A friend from grade school liked it on Facebook and I thought "wow, never would have pegged her to like that. Gross."

I saw (and liked) the Fr. James Martin's post too.

Me too!

[sydney02]

Father James Martin is awesome. Sadly yesterday a lot of poeple had to announce on FB that they defriended him and how disappointed they were in him. I think he probably gained more followers than he lost though, lol.

I loved his "sorry haters (literally), don't care" attitude.

I think people will be generally pissed if they meet hitler in heaven. Lol.

However, I suppose that doesn't necessarily mean he's not there.

Me, too! I might be a little embarrassed that people might think I'm not thrilled beyond measure, but people who know me know. I didnt change my profile to a cartoon character to end child abuse, either. i hope people know where I stand on that issue, too.
