16. The reason I'm not even going to consider no longer painting

is that's the only way the church will change. From their own membership rising up against them - they frankly don't give a damn what those of us outside think.

So as long as the church bosses insist on fucking with my life, I'm not going to give any Catholic "the benefit of the doubt". Don't like it? Then complain to the ones trying to assert their power over my life.

If you find that unpleasant, well having a bishop climb into my marital bed is a lot more unpleasant.
