Alright. yesterday I talked to 'GoldenEagle' about this (more like told him). I am a new christian as some of you may already know. I was saved by a Catholic Lady and of course by Jesus. Anyways that catholic lady is now my adopted mom (it'll make sense if you read my testimony).
Anyways, I used to go to a Catholic Church with my adopted mom in Ohio. One day when I wore a Marilyn Manson T-Shirt to church, the priest called us to his office after mass. He basically kicked us out of the church. I have an exact transcript of how it went down. (My adopted mother e-mailed it to me on my request). So here it is;
Priest: Hello, you two.
Mom and I: Hi.
Priest to my mom: She is not allowed to come here anymore.
Mom: why?
Priest: She is evil.
Mom: No she is not, why would you think that?
Priest: Because of her shirt.
Mom: you are judging someone by what they are wearing?
Priest: It is an accurate description of how evil that girl is.
Mom: she is not evil, she is a very nice and beautiful girl.
Priest: she is pure evil, she wears inappropriate clothing every time.
Mom: inappropriate clothing?
Priest: Ripped jeans, cut-off tank tops,
and band T-shirts. Today as you can tell she even wore black "goth" makeup.
Mom: so you don't like her because of the way she dresses?
Priest: in essence yes.
Mom: Church is not about how someone dresses.
Preist: She just doesn't belong here.
Mom: belong here? you don't get to decide who belong's in the lord's church. Only the lord does.
Mom: I don't think you know what this girl is going through, She is dying she has terminal cancer and she is very afraid and unstable right now.
Priest: Good, how long is it until she will be burning in hell for all her evil doings?
Mom: Now just hold on a second, that won't happen. She believes in the lord jesus christ.
Preist: She will burn in hell forever! She doesn't belong here and that's all.
Mom: You sir are forgetting what your job is, to help those in need and heal the broken. Not judge people based on their choice in clothing or music.
Preist: Don't get all smart on me.
Mom: I found her on the street. I told her about the lord. I gave her shelter. I washed her. I fed her. I clothed her. When i found out she was an orphan I adopted her. I knew when I saw her that the lord wanted me to help her so I didn't question it and I did.
Preist: you invited an evil child into your home.
**I start to cry at this point**
Mom: don't talk about my daughter that way. Now you've made a girl dying of
cancer cry. How can you live with yourself now?
Priest: she is not your daughter!
Mom: well she is now! I am happy to welcome this girl into my family.
Priest: you are making a big mistake helping this girl, i can see evil all about her.
Mom: you sir are no man of God! you do not heal the broken, you do not have love in your heart. you are a poser! and may the lord forgive you for making a mockery out of his church!
Mom: come on taylor were leaving!
So is what my mom said rude or righteous what do you think? Also what do you think about any part of it?
