Hear, hear, Lois.

Lois posted the advisement of the CofC leadership:

>"The World Church has requested that the issue of homosexuality in the Community of Christ be our first focus."

At Ford, Quality is Job One.
In CofC, Sodomy is Job One.

At Zenith, the quality goes in before the name goes on.
At CofC, the sodomy goes in before the game goes on.

Liberal Teachings:

In the church, anyone who isn't allowed to be in the priesthood is being treated like a second class citizen. It is unacceptable in a Christian church to treat anyone as second class.

Ergo, women and homosexuals are being mistreated by being excluded from the priesthood because of their deep-held personal beliefs that ordinary Biblical teachings are wrong.

Anyone who doesn't agree with the idea of ordaining women and homosexuals should be excluded from the priesthood.

Ergo, it is perfectly all right to defrock priests who are out of favor with the First Presidency's current theology and make them second class members.

Thus we see that Restorationists need to be excluded from the priesthood, because they deserve to be second class citizens because their deep-seated personal beliefs on women's and homosexual's ordination clash with those of the First Presidency.

And that's unChristian, but it is CofC-ism 101, folks. RLDSism was buried long ago. The above propositions are a hateful argument that one can really get tangled up in.

The only reason that the remaining members of the church aren't able to figure this out is because the entire doctrinal system outlined above is never taught all at one time. Each proposition is presented separately on different occasions. Each proposition, by itself, seems perfectly reasonable. And church members who will pick a fight denying they said what they can't remember having said last week certainly can't remember what their teachers taught them last week; thus, it is extremely unlikely that they will ever catch on to the actual insanity of what they have been spoonfed.
