CATHOLIC CAPITALISTS

Voy a escribir esta entrada en Inglés porque el otro día acepté una invitación a una capilla Católica a calladas voces solo para gringos "expats", en un super lujoso resort en algún lugar detrás de las montañas de la realidad en la que vivo (la cual es buena, pero tampoco es la que vivo [ni la quiero]). Realmente me impactó la experiencia.


The Catholic Church was a leading supporter of the repeal campaign, even asking parishes to pass a second collection plate at Sunday mass to help the cause.

Then there was a sign:
"Some days you wake up and inmediately start to worry.
Nothing in particular is wrong,
it's just the suspicion that forces are aligning quietly
and there will be trouble."

MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS: SAVOR KINDNESS BECAUSE CRUELTY IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE LATER (I THINK).

So I say:

Nobody gives a hoot,
Nobody gives a hoot,
And that is why we’re down the chute,
Cause nobody gives a hoot!

The Gardeners loved their instructive rhymes.

In addition to that, the prayers were tedious, the theology scrambled – why be so picky about lifestyle details if you believed everyone would soon be wiped off the face of the planet?

“They can’t possibly like us,” said my gay friend.

“Of course not,” I said. “I see them as twisted fanatics who combine food extremism with bad fashion sense and a puritanical attitude towards shopping. But we own nothing they want, so we don’t qualify as terrorists.”
