more, his Catholicism exacerbates his objectionability

Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

And the one I linked to has their own app available for iPhones and Androids.

Which is, of course, a more important indicator.

The thing is, liturgical colors isn't something I find objectionable or offensive. Complimentarianism and clerical celibacy are.

Okay, but degree of theological and cultural similarity and difference isn't dictated by what you do or don't find offensive.

Incidentally, what's your beef with clerical celibacy? It's certainly not a concept I'm attached to (obviously, since I belong to a denomination in which not only are most priests married, but some are married to someone of the same sex), but I've never heard anybody describe it as offensive. An undue burden, yes, but not offensive. Certainly not to the same degree as complementarianism.

BRTD, that Church is weird. It's like some Obama-government-funded, Lena-Dunham-inspired state-run community center.

EXACTLY. That's the whole point. Especially the Lena Dunham part.

I'd consider roughly a third to half of the implications of that set of descriptors mutually exclusive with being a church in any meaningful sense, but that's just me.

I also like how Lena Dunham has become Simfan's bane; it just seems appropriate somehow.
