Ping!
Casey, a moderate Democrat..Oh, PUULEEZE.
Sorry, but respect is earned, not automatically granted to every pervert walking the earth.
Destroy the traditional family and normalize deviancy.
“Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey said Monday that he now supports same-sex marriage, reversing his position and joining a long line of Democrats who have changed their minds on an issue that has seen a rapid shift in public opinion.”
The problem is not the growing list of Democrats who support Gay Marriage, but rather the growing list of Republicans that support Gay Marriage.
Don't ask questions
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,140 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."141 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.
By only quoting that relatively overused phrase, must be accepted with respect, compassion and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in this regard should be avoided without the preceding words, this inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial, it makes it seem like we should have "acceptance" as the goal rather than sympathy for their "objectively disordered" condition (which is clearly the meaning when you take it in context).
Argh.
Well, I frankly EXPECT Dems to side with evil.
Far more exasperating is watching GOP-ers cave and prostrate themselves before this wave of deviancy. But, having witnessed their behavior of late... capitulating on everything from fiscal cliffs to Obamacare to amnesty, and blaming all their political ills on their conservative base, I’m undoubtedly remiss in even having the slightest expectation that the Party is capable of principles anymore. Much less, decent values.
I want to marry all of my adult children to avoid inheritance tax.
But seriously, what parts of:
Lev. 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."
Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them"
1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
Rom. 1:26-28, "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper."
Are difficult to understand? What is unclear? How does a homosexual marriage fit in either the new or old testament?
So will the Catholic Church do anything to deny Casey the Sacrament or haul him for a stern conversation with the Bishop?
Sen. Casey shows his backbone by endorsing the redefinition of marriage AFTER he wins re-election.......in hopes nobody remembers when he runs for re-election in 2018.
The DNC is more and more filled with reliable votes, like Casey, who will never question his leaders, and fall in line every time.
“That’s a pretty strongly worded statement.”
Oh, baloney. What a crock. What a lie.
It’s as mealy-mouthed a statement as a bishop could issue.
HERE’S a strongly-worded statement:
“Bob Casey, I declare that you are excommunicated ferendae sententiae. Until you publicly repudiate both your pro-homo marriage and your pro-abort positions, and until you quit the Party of Satan and re-register in some political party that is not formally at war with God and the Catholic Church, you will remain excommunicated. You are a formal and public heretic, and you are not to be admitted onto the premises of any church, chapel, oratory or other place of worship within this diocese, to protect the Catholics of my flock against contagion from the moral diseases carried by you and other vermin like you. May God have mercy on your soul. I pray that you will not have to occupy the absolute lowest circles of Hell upon your death. Get thee behind us, Satan.”
His Daddy must be spinning in his grave.
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”.
I despise this POS that represents my state.
