Catholic fundy homoerotic gibberish

[Jesus Saves]

Found this at the Daily Howler.

"FESSIO: The point is if Jesus Christ is the bridegroom of the church, if God has sent his son to us as a man to unite himself in a marital act, a nuptial act to his whole people, to make us one flesh and one body with him, there's something very deep and mysterious about that. It's what the church has always taught is that, not that men are better than women, not that men should be given more honor than woman, but that men image forth the bridegroom because Christ is essentially someone who's married to us, and therefore you can't have a woman who gives that iconic image of Christ who's the bridegroom of the church."

2. Somebody explain to this guy what a metaphor is.

Bridegroom, nuptuals--its a metaphor, and like all metaphors, it doesn't work on every single fucking level--and it isn't mandatory to TRY to make it work on every single level..

How's about working on the metaphor as Jesus as the mother:
"O Jerusalem .... how often would I have gathered thy children .... as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings" (Matthew 23:37).

3. I'm Catholic I don't speak for all Cathoilics, but I feel fairly qualified

to say this guy is nuts.

4. So historically, Jesus is already married to every man in the church?

So much for that whole "letting two men get married will destroy civilization" thing.
