Stratosph3re, you know it's really bad when you're gettin your love from atheists, humanists, and snake-handling Baptists.

STRATOSPH3R3,

You described some of the difficulties you are having with this priest. Are there also differences of opinion between you and this priest about the doctrinal teachings of the Church that are standing between you and him ?

Fair question, one I would actually like to explore with our parish priest, but am not given the opportunity. I do not believe we diverge too far from one another in terms of the doctrinal teachings. We do diverge when it comes to the method of delivering the message.

For example the church has strong views on divorce and homosexual marriage, which if I look deep into my heart I tend to agree with, however I believe everyone makes their own choice in life and follows their own road. Who am I to criticise and judge - do I ostracise these people from my life because they do not adhere to the Church?

In the case of our parish priest he ex-communicated a member from the parish council because she was a divorcee, yet his secretary is also a divorcee. Where is the fairness and consistency?

Presumably because Stratosph3r3 has all of the love he needs from the heretic contingent.

Erm, Stratosph3r3, is 'l33t' the Church's replacement for LAtin or something?

What did Sting say? "If you love someone, set them free. "

Although 33 is symbolic number, and I would like to claim that I had some inspiration in chosing it, the simple fact is stratosphere was already taken on this site.
