As a gay man, I can't help but read your story from an understanding that Catholic priests believe vicious, cruel, sickening things about me and other gay and trans people like me.

The Catholic Church teaches, and all Catholic priests must affirm, that we gay people are literally depraved and disordered. Did we commit "acts of grave depravity."

I also reflect that Catholic priests in Africa who rise to high positions of leadership, like the almost literally satanic Robert Sarah, are thoroughly disgusting when it comes to condemning queer people.

Robert Sarah stands up for imprisoning gay people, and so do many
African Catholic priests, who seem to view treating us like shit as a religious imperative.

So you can cry about racism all you want, but the Catholic priest you're praising is highly likely to be a bigoted piece of shit.

It's funny to me, but not comical, how you can decry racism while praising an institution that is thoroughly vicious and disgusting towards other marginalized people.

I AM NOT DEPRAVED.

I AM DISORDERED.

Your church teaches that I am, and all priests in your church are down with that. Sickening, evil, disgusting people.

Your faith is foul, and your church is cancer. And Catholic priests are cruel, evil, disgusting monsters.
