Pastor of St Patrick’s Cathedral condemns service for Cecilia Gentili after she was celebrated as being ‘mother of all whores’
The Roman Catholic archdiocese of New York City has condemned a funeral service for the transgender activist Cecilia Gentili at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral after congregants cheered her for being celebrated as “the mother of all whores”.
The packed funeral – organisers reported 1,400 mourners – took place on Thursday, 10 days after the Argentinian-born Gentili, 52, died at her Brooklyn home.
Gentili was an activist and actor known for her advocacy on behalf of sex workers, as well as an atheist and author of Faltas: Letters to Everyone in My Hometown Who Isn’t My Rapist. Her cause of death has not been revealed.
The archdiocese condemned the funeral, saying some mourners behaved scandalously at the service, which featured a turnout closer in number to the midtown Manhattan cathedral’s jam-packed Easter mass than a normal Thursday, with many transgender congregants lavishly dressed for Gentili’s send-off.
If the Pope can’t even control or tell his own clergy what’s what, then pack up the whole fucking thing. If Catholics stopped pretending to be a religion and accepted that they’re a corporation, then none of this would matter
You make no sense at all. Catholic clergy aren’t robots that the Pope controls remotely, they are messy, thinking people with their own bias’s and demons and prejudice.
The fact that you think 1,000,000+ different people, even under a “unified” religious doctrine (that has some wide schisms active even today) would all instantly act in lockstep when their leader makes a new change in doctrine is just flat out wild. It just the weirdest and most unreasonable thing to be upset about, but here you are.
They do all seem to unify when it comes to defending pedos but not about what their own pope says lol
