"The PCA is committed ..."

As you have repeatedly contended on in this forum, official statements don't pass the "So What" test. As long as a single apostate member can be found to practice against the formal teachings of any church the teachings of that church is negated and tacit approval is implied. If it applies to a pederast Catholic priest it equally applies to a gay Presbyterian.

Although I do believe that your contentions are often wrong and that there are decent, faithful, and honest Presbyterians the most recent statement you posted is over 20 years old. In the constantly "evolving" context of the Presbyterian churches in America, that is several lifetimes. Recent headlines suggest changes.

You are confusing the PCA denomination with the USA denomination.
