Touched to the Heart

What can I say? I got an email today from a guy in the porn industry wishing me well with and supporting me in my endeavours to present the man that I am here in this blog. Got to admit I woke up this morning feeling not to great about going on with the blog but his mail touched me and gave me the words of support I needed.

He also made a generous donation to me. It's ironic that the first entry in my priest's charity house book will record a donation from a guy in the porn industry. I think it's fantastic. I love the contradiction ... such charity from a guy in the porn industry ... he wished me well and sincerely I wish him well too. Being the first to donate, he'll stick in my mind always. I'll seek him out and shake his hand in the afterlife.

Father,

You said in a previous post that you love women. Do you love the fact that people in the porn industry use and exploit women to make millions of dollars? Did you get a warm fuzzy as you deposited the porn peddler's donation in your personal account?

I'm praying for you, and the "benevolent" pornographer.

Jesus loved the sinners! Who am I to judge them? If somebody chooses to make a charitable act of generosity, I accept and value their motive rather than the means by which the make it.

I must be honest with you and tell you that it does feel good to recieve donations. My bank account has been more or less empty for the past 40 years, as it should have been but now I am making new plans and having devoted 40 years of my life to others I'm hoping that that charity will be returned to me and I can live my final years without the collar.

Oh Anne Marie, get over it. Our kind Priest never endorsed the porn industry and you are implying negative judgement on him for saying that this person from the porn industry acted in kindness. Shame on you.

Try to believe that there is goodness in all of us and maybe you will be a little less cynical. No, I'm not defending the porn industry, but the possibility that everyone has the potential for doing good things. Even you! I'll bet you're voting for Bush? ha ha ha (just kidding, but please don't - LOL)

Hello Father, I would send a donation because I do sympathize with your cause. However, how to I know you are for real and this isn't some sort of scam? I Love a 61 year old priest right now, I am 46. We care for each other very much. I can understand . . ..
