Subject: RE: BS: Stephen Fry on The Catholic Church
Sorry if my post was a little flippant, but I've heard a few stories of the cruelty of some nuns to young girls.
I'm sure Sister Judy would be a suporter of this song, Joe...which to me would be a song that I'm sure Jesus would be happy to sing. And I don't think that Jesus's's's' Dad would want folks to be celibate for *his* sake. Fine if that's how they want to live, many choose that path and that's absolutely fine, but I'm sure that God would not demand that of anyone....
Not the God who has stood beside me throughout my life, at least..
"We've cleared off the table, the leftovers saved, Washed the dishes and put them away I have told you a story, tucked you in tight At the end of your knockabout day ...As the moon sets its sails to carry you to sleep Over the midnight sea I will sing you a song no one sang to me May it keep you good company.
Oh you can be anybody you want to be, You can love whomever you will You can travel any country where your heart leads And know I will love you still You can live by yourself, you can gather friends around, You can choose one special one And the only measure of your words and your deeds Will be the love you leave behind when you're done.
There are girls who grow up strong and bold There are boys quiet and kind Some race on ahead, some follow behind Some go in their own way and time Some women love women, some men love men Some raise children, some never do You can dream all the day never reaching the end Of everything possible for you.
Don't be rattled by names, by taunts, by games But seek out spirits true If you give your friends the best part of yourself They will give the same back to you."
