Screw Monogamy For Clergy

Who would have thought that I'd be writing about the PCUSA and sex ever again?   After the denomination I grew up in  chose to knuckle under to pressure from the ABC lobby (and from activist staffers) and every church I'd been a part of chose the principled path of exodus from the PCUSA I thought I was done with them.  Who knew that the denomination would go further than anyone could possibly have imagined.    Apparently the concept of monogamy for PCUSA pastors is just too much to ask and the PCUSA is pushing to get rid of that standard as well.  

Remember when the shills for the ABC movement within and without of the church  (like Dan) told us that gay people only yearned for the opportunity to formalize their relationships before YHWH and the state and that they were committed to monogamous marriages and would forsake promiscuity and multiple partners?   Well, now we know that they were spewing BS and that monogamy was never on the table long term.  

Honestly I'm shocked that the PCUSA has survived the massive hemorrhage of  churches and members over the past few years and with 66% of their congregation under 100 members, and 72% of members over the age of 50, both the members and congregations look to be dying off.   That the denomination has become less of an ecclesiastical organization and more of a skin suit for leftist activists to don when convenient, seems to be more evident with this latest move.
