Rob Tisinai:
“The service is just for family.”
This is the life our worst opponents want for us. What they want our culture to go back to. What they consider the proper order of things. They might object, perhaps with truth, that they don’t wish on us this trauma and grief.They merely want us to be celibate, to avoid temptation, to stifle our chances for a loving partner.
But if we refuse to do that, we certainly shouldn’t expect to be family.
