WashPost, Daily Beast Mark Christmas by Attacking Jesus, Virgin Mary
22nd December 2016
Well, after all, it’s what they do.
Everhart, a minister of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), led her piece, “Our culture of purity celebrates the Virgin Mary. As a rape victim, that hurts me,” by setting up her theory about the apparent distortion of the Virgin Mary: “Church culture tends to be fixated on sexual purity year-round, but during Advent, I’m tempted to blame it on the Virgin Mary. After all, she set an impossibly high bar. Now the rest of us are stuck trying to be both a virgin and a mother at the same time.”
Presbyterians aren’t what they used to be, apparently. She probably things that TULIP refers to a flower.
Some levels of cluelessness expand beyond the power of language to express.
(Verily, Theotokos, we magnify thee.)
