[Life as I know it]

Just a few weeks ago I was a parishioner of a large Catholic Church here until I heard the head priest apologize (on camera)to us at the opening of the mass because some parishioners wrote him a six page letter telling him why they hated him.
He said that he gave permission to a woman parishioner who offered to help assist in giving communion, but did withdraw it at the parishioners request and apologized profusely to us. He withdrew permission and told the woman she could not serve or assist because she was a transgender.
At that moment I realized that even though the Church says God loves all his children it was obvious that the people in this flock don’t. Apparently, the priest in order to keep his job had to bow to the parishioners hatred….and we wonder why there is so much hatred and discord in the world.
