His Daddy must be spinning in his grave.
Most gays I know were once married with kids.
I agree. American Bishops need to start naming names and excommunicating those who disavow Church teaching. And Pope Francis NEEDS to get on the Bishops. This is so disgraceful, and as my 15 year old said “lame.” It is “lame”’when (for show and photo ops) CINOS take the host; show up at the Vatican (or their local Cathedral) but don’t follow Church teaching.
Casey is a disgrace.
The gays I know are discreet and not in anyone’s face with their lifestyle or living situation.
I guess that you’ve never been to San Francisco, New York City, Boston or any major city in this country, because they are out there, pushing their agenda.
They cut the bishop off. He meant to add, “Nothing in this statement is meant to imply that Senator Casey is not welcome to receive communion, speak at Catholic colleges, etc.”
I am laughing at all the faux Catholics in PA. Especially the elderly who will STILL pull the lever for a guy like casey. How quickly they abandon their faith when a few freebies are promised. My general impression of a Western PA Catholic? Do what you want for six days of the week, act repentant on Sunday. Hypocrites.
Why don’t we just call it what it is?...”turncoat”.
The moderate Republicans have never been on our side on social issues. I include the Bushes. It is not what the guys say but what their wives and daughters say. IAC, do recall the reaction Pat Buchanan got in 1992 when he spoke on the culture wars at the convention.
I despise this POS that represents my state.
More people have 'evolved'. Politicians follow the polls. Wonder how the battle for the people's hearts and minds was lost?
-- Church has been outfought by gay supporters [or] priests are not allowed to talk about anything other than the Readings so Church reasoning is unknown.
Well, there's respect and there's respect.
One kind --- call it Respect 1.0 --- doesn't have to be earned, because it is "endowed by the Creator" and "Inalienable" --- a respect simply as a member of Homo sapiens to life, liberty, etc--- you know this part.
Because it is not bestowed by Congress, the Court, or even the Constitution, it belongs even to people who have not earned it. People who are embryos, people who are unattractive and unproductive, people with disorders, etc.
A related, but distinguishable kind --- call it Respect 2.0 --- is the kind which is earned.
A homosexual person's basic identity is: a person. Hence, Respect 1.0.
"Homosexual" is not an identity, it's just a description of a disorder. As such, it doesn't elicit "respect" so much as "concern."
