GRINDR – A VERY DANGEROUS GAY APP USED BY PRIESTS.

The Russian Orthodox tradition, which goes back centuries, insists that priests must be married. There are three basic reasons for this: Gay priests are seriously unwanted, the priest’s wife should make sure that her husband doesn’t misbehave sexually -and she protects him from being controlled by any psychologically manipulative female parishioners. OTOH, bishops have to be celibate -so you have to be a monk to become one eventually. That may be a reason why Russia has been the stronghold of Christian monasticism. Given that, Russian monks have never had anything to do with running parishes or teaching children -and Russian monasteries imprison sexually errant monks.
The RC church is already abandoning priestly celibacy; if you want to become a married RC priest, just become an Anglican one and then convert with your wife.

Do you remember years ago when Maggie Thatcher made the BBC tune out the Sinn Fein-ers ? Well, she should’t have bothered, because we could barely understand them anyway. I was reminded of this over the last few days watching NI people from all sides being interviewed, and having to resort to the lagging subtitles to understand what they were saying ! Which points to this business of NI being part of the UK. It isn’t ! On this side of the water we have no sense of NI as being a real part of the UK, or Northern Irelanders being anything other than a) Irish b) Northern Irish or c ) just bloody, cantankerous, argumentative and prickly people. Certainly not British. I mean, they don’t even speak like us ! Having got that little bit of xenophobic prejudice off my chest, and looking at the situation a little more objectively, I am always taken by the fact that the Sinn Fein people are so much cleverer, nuanced, persuasive and strategic than the Unionists. They run rings around the Unionists, who are always seeming to be reactive and playing catch up. I have no doubt that there are deep seated issues at the root of what is currently happening, but I have no doubt that Unionists in NI have had their noses put out of joint by the practicalities, and especially the implications, of the Brexit border protocol, and in particular the fact that BoJo has been willing and able to sell them down the river in a deluge of lies and failed promises. Mind you, the DUP don’t have a particularly respectable history in this Brexit matter, relishing holding the British government to ransom under May over Brexit and squeezing billions out of her for their support, and this when a majority of people in NI voted against Brexit. They don’t like it now when Johnson and others have dumped them and betrayed them. Perhaps they should be wary of what they wish for – be it Brexit, or continuing unionism, whatever – because Boris, Sin Fein, well in fact pretty much anybody, is much more clever than them and will dance around them. Poor things, don’t they realise how ridiculous they look and sound ?

Any priest or religious who is using Grindr should have the integrity/moral honesty to acknowledge that their religious/priestly vocation has come to an end. They should do the honourable thing i.e. petition to be dispensed from their religious vows and, if they are priests the obligations of the clerical state.
