things heat up in the jesus fandom

SWEET POTATOES YES. I adore Fr. Martin. 

Looked into it, and it’s real. Not only that, but if you look at his twitter account, he made some more awesome tweets that day that make me really happy to be a Catholic. I’ll include screenshots and text versions of them below.

It saddens me that a #trans student cannot choose what bathrooms to use. A basic need. It’s an affront to their dignity as human beings.

And who is harmed by a #trans student using a bathroom? I’ve seen women using men’s rooms when the ladies’ rooms were full. Who is harmed?

As usual, the one who is made to suffer indignities is the one on the margins, the one seen as “other,” the one seen as “them.”

But for Jesus, there is no “other.” There is no “them.”  There is only “us.” So we must be about openness, acceptance and inclusion. #trans 

Who should stand with the marginalized, the mocked, the bullied, the confused, the outcast, the minority? The Christian should. #trans

Because Jesus did. 

His Facebook post that day says something similar:  Who should stand with the marginalized, the mocked, the bullied, the outcast, the confused, the hurt? Who should stand with the one seen as “different,” the one seen as “other,” the one seen as “them”? Who should stand with people who often stand alone? The Christian should. Because Jesus did.

This is how the positive versions of Christianity work.
