Blinded fools-—do they think the push for ‘marriage equality’ will end for same gender adults? Nay but Pandoras opened box will yield more horrors within. Look for incest, threesome and bestial requests demanding their rights too.
If this decadent society tosses out the Bible admonitions of gay practices then all the other taboos above don’t apply either. Stick with the Almighty Holy One— the Ultimate Supreme Justice who holds the final say on the matter.
NYer, with all due respect to both you and Archbishop Cordileone, the social ramifications of gay marriage are a tangent to the question of the constitutionality of gay marriage imo.
More specifically, the Founding States made the 10th Amendment to clarify that the Constitution’s silence about issues like marriage, abortion, euthanasia, ect., means that such issues are automatically unique state power issues.
But also note that the pro-gay liberal media, including Obama guard dog Fx News, is arguing a wide, PC interpretation of the Equal Protections Clause of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment in defense of gay marriage. But if the liberal media would take the trouble to read all the way down to Section 2 of 14A, then they would find out that, regardless of the Equal Protections Clause in Section 1, the 14th Amendment itself discriminates against people. This is because Section 2 discriminates on the basis of sex, age and citizenship status.
So what 14A really does is to clarify that the states have the power to make laws to discriminate on bases which are not expressly protected by the Constitution, same-sex marriage being an example, as long as such laws discriminate equally.
I’m going to read it when I can, and I mean no disrespect to you, but overall I can’t see how the Roman Catholic church isn’t furthering homosexuality in the long run. I live in NY state myself (not sure but you might, from your ID), and from living in a very Catholic area (80%), I’ve never known faith or God’s Word to be important to anyone around me. It is like Europe here, though known to be so Catholic. What I really have issue with, as a Christian, is the church leadership, which doesn’t teach the important things from the Bible, like “man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God” (Matt 4:4). I know from being Lutheran (a church also not teaching a reliance on God), and being in such a lukewarm area, and from a nominal Christian, abusive family, that I lived as a very lost person (including as a lesbian) that there is very little “light” in this area. The only person in 40 years I knew, before discovering some small faith pockets, was a Jehovah’s witness. So, for this and other reasons, the Catholic church speaking out, saying basically that they so that homosexuality is wrong (as most people will take it), doesn’t convince me. I look to the Bible. I hope you’re not offended, but I am speaking what I believe needs to be said.
