Elaine in Reader-land called me out for virtue-signaling that I didn&#;t want to virtue signal. And while I was trying to wrap my head around that, a post from this priest showed up in my Facebook feed. I don&#;t follow him, so I was asking, what the hell?
Now, if you don&#;t know who he is, I will give an unbiased background. Fr Martin is an author, editor at large for America magazine, advisor and spokesman for the Vatican, and fairly high profile. A lot of his ministry is to same-sex attracted Catholics who feel pushed out of the church. He is on speaking tours about it, and his book Building a Bridge is a great attempt to engage with people who are dealing with this issue.
Now, what popped into my feed was not about that. You want me to talk about the church&#;s stance on that, I will. But this Jesuit started talking about the priest in South Carolina who denied Holy Communion to Joe Biden because of his public position and policy on Abortion. The A-word. It&#;s my dam blog, you are here because for some reason you want to read what I am writing. You can&#;t avoid the abortion topic here.
