We did have something in our Bulletin a few weeks ago that discussed the Church being forced to pay for birth control etc. but that was it.

Yeah, I saw this where all of them wanted to report this church to the IRS and yank their tax-exempt status.   :whatever:

This one moonbat dug up the flyer:
:lol:

It's way down at the bottom of the pdf file, what they're all ranting about here.

They're bitching about something called Gray Haired Geezers?

BTW go Gray Haired Brigade, I think it's actually awesome they posted that in a Bulletin and also posted about the Pope saying leave the Church if you don't believe in it.

And another thing, the left doesn't keep the Catholic Church afloat, it's mostly Conservatives, you don't like it? you have no voice in it because you don't support it, so go screw yourselves! :bird:

It's an enormous bonfire.  Just huge, at 247 replies.  It could be pared down to about 10 if any of them had an original thought.  Send it to the IRS!!!!!  posted 235 times.

That's not a "bulletin," IMO . . . it's a magazine.  I'm in awe of a parish that would have such a vibrant pastoral life.  BTW, they're dead on in their printing of the sentiments. 

(One thing I did notice--nothing was said about "choir practice."  We've got four different choirs at my church. :-) )

I never saw a Bulletin that large, we average 4 pages, although there are inserts of various things like Catholic Charities that you can pick up also.

We've got six pages in ours, and we're the largest parish in the Albany Diocese.

Never happened. I foresee a plethora of bouncys about the Catholic churches that should lose their tax exempt status because of 0's defying the First Amendment.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Most people come home from church with a feeling of peace, a brighter outlook or a reinvigoration of the spirit.

A DUmmy comes home in a state of high pissed-offness.

I think that says it all, right there.

If they want to start talking about losing tax exempt status then they better look in their own backyard 1st, the black Churches are the worst when it comes to ignoring it.

Ours is five pages. Then, 2 1/2 pages are from prayer requests. We have an average of around 300 people who attend our church.

I sent the church an email, and got a nice response today, saying the pastor would contact me in due course.  I will keep you posted.

We've got four different choirs at my church.

You're all set to do a performance of this piece:
