This is the spiritual journey of me, Eccles, my big brother Bosco, and my Grate-Anti Moly. Eccles is saved, but we've got real problems with Bosco and Anti.

Pagans in Communion Conference
Yes, presented by www.christrecovery.com, it's the conference for all whose
pagan leanings have been affected by Catholicism!
Nothing to do with this event, honest!
If you are a Pagan formerly associated with or affected by Catholicism, or are seeking to understand
the effects of Catholicsm on our Pagan faith, then this conference is for you!
We feel your pain. Rigid Catholics who use words like "sin", "redemption" and "Christ"
can cause untold distress to good Pagans such as ourselves, and it is important
for us to have a conference as a way of giving each other support.
Two keynote speakers!
Yes, we are honoured to welcome Joe Biden, part-time president of the United States,
who will give a keynote address on the subject of "Urgle burgle who am I splunge where's the ice-cream?"
explaining how he was traumatized when a Catholic told him that killing babies was
wrong.
We shall also be hearing from Fr James Martin LGBTSJ, author of "Are you gay? If not, why not?" -
a manual for seminarians.
We shall hold synod-style bonding sessions!
We shall obviously play down the religious side of our beliefs - it is much more important to
focus on OURSELVES rather than GOD - but we shall certainly sing a few
happy songs (we don't use the h-word these days!) such as "All are welcome", "Gather us in", "On eagle's wings", etc.
As we meditate on just how horrible Catholicism is, we shall discuss the wonders of alternative
beliefs, such as in Pachamama or the following message, seen at King's Crescent Railway Station.
The Stations of the Crescent - a lesson to us all.
Actually, some of us are a little unhappy with using words like "sinners", so there will
be a trigger warning on this, and those likely to be offended may wish to miss out on
this session. We are now trying to persuade the station to display more friendly messages such as
"Remember, you are perfect already!"
Anyway, we are not here simply to moan about Catholicism, we will be partying as well! One
of our keynote speakers, Blase Cupich, has donated some birthday cake, and all are welcome
to share it (except Arthur Roche, who has his own cake).
This gluten-free, vegan and climate-friendly cupcake is also guaranteed Catholic-free!
LATE NEWS: Some orthodox Catholics have been detected trying to gatecrash
our conference. All future bookings must be accompanied by a letter of support
from either (a) a Jesuit; (b) Austen Ivereigh; or (c) Someone who writes for "Where Peter Is".
Thank you for your kind support. When I hear about those nasty c___olics speaking as if they know something, I am, of course, distraught! I was so pleased to see this wonderful conference you've advertized! How are the flights to that area? I'll have to book one soon. The bonding session especially calls to my spirit, as does the cake.
ReplyDeleteI object to the non-inclusive language in the hadith. It should read "Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve.. ". If that was good enough for a self-described dinosaur like CS Lewis, it should be good enough for…

Wow. We're still going. I knew that my cult would win.
ReplyDeleteI bet Farver Arfur will be gorging on hot tick buns next week !!
ReplyDeleteYour satire would be funny if it actually reflected what the conference was actually about
