I used to call them "Fruits of the Spirit."
They didn't care for that either.
Our priest defended them because their's was a long-term, committed relationship. After they broke up I asked the priest how much time would have to pass if they came back with different partners before it could be considered a long-term, committed relationship?
He keeps avoiding me for some reason.
We used to have a couple of very flamboyant types that sat in the front pew of my old church. They were nice enough were more interested in making a point and a scene, I think.
