Is this true? (Main Forum)

Golly Gosh Brian you certainly have started a very interesting thread which is helping me to understand why I had to walk away from the Institution. It was too narrow, too confining for me. God was locked into the Tabernacle and could only be accessed by someone who was ontologically changed, male, celibate and with the key.

I can't believe I'm saying this but at last I feel free to follow Yeshua of Nazareth in the margins where I belong. Paradoxically, because of the training I received as a Reader/RCIA Catechist, I can now think as an adult and behave like an adult in the faith and that thinking has led to my decision to stay on the margins.
