SO WHAT IS
SPIRITUALITY?
by
George Fish
It is Torquemada;
and it is
Catholic priest-pedophilia,
and its even
more foul
and disgusting
deliberate
cover-up.
It is the idiotic and senile
Pat Robertson
spewing his vile,
vitriolic drivel
over the TV airwaves.
It is persecuting Galileo
and burning Giordano
Bruno at the stake
for teaching as supposed
heresy that which
modern science now affirms,
and affirms with deep conviction.
It is burning alleged witches
alive, along with supposed
heretics and homosexuals.
It is what Enda Kenney,
Prime Minister of
overwhelmingly Catholic
Ireland, sick and tired
of Vatican obstruction,
called out as the
Catholic Church’s
culture of “disconnect,
dysfunction, narcissism
and elitism.”
It is constantly haranguing
people about abortion,
birth control, and the mores
of allegedly “proper and
improper” sexual intimacy
in sharing love with those
whom they specially care about,
regardless of sexual
orientation.
It is being constant genital
police,
a special inquisitorial office
reserved notably
for celibate old males.
It is all these, and more—
or less, as it is
so profoundly
anti-human,
inhumane,
and just plain abusive.
