What a week so far! First freakin' IOWA votes to allow Same-Sex marriage, then --the more expected-- Vermont and now it seems D.C's nearing it's Same-Sex marriage vote, which, although will unfortunately be in Congress, so far seems cause for optimism.
Also I liked this article about an interview Tony "cool dad" Blair did for Attitude mag, partly about the Pope's outdated views. As a high profile catholic, I LOVE that he's speaking out in a very respectful way about the general feeling amongst the changing views of the congregation.
This also brought back to mind the "This American Life" piece on Heresy and the Rev.Carlton Pearson. He is now preaching his gospel of Inclusion and was pronounced a Heretic by the Church for his new views and message of Love, also the Reverend decided there was no such place as "hell"-- which as a Pentecostal minister may be a little tricky to deal with.
I first heared this on a road trip to Pittsburgh, and as a former catholic it profoundly affected me-- in a good way. I would invite you to listen..check it out.
