I don’t think it’s about contributions, Joe.

It’s about serving their master, if you get my meaning.

The sin that cries to heaven for vengeance. Some of us haven’t forgotten.

homosexuality is not a normal outcome...its abnormal....all of the world's species rely on one thing...that males and females are attracted to one another and breed offspring....it's what biology is all about...

I agree that they should not be harassed, persecuted, prosecuted or hated in any way....

but lets just acknowledge that its not normal...

besides, its totally unhealthy in every way possible.....

it was not too long ago that the Catholic Church stated that sex was meant ONLY for making babies....the "mutual satisfaction" part didn't come until after Vat. 2.

The modern democrat pharisees would ask Jesus: will we still be gay and married in heaven?

Discussing the gender of the angels amongst catholics while the islamics are at the gate of Rome...

I’m pretty confident that was not part of the teaching of the Apostles.

Birds of a feather flock together. Repulsive, unethical, wrong and pitiful.

Other than many priests, most homosexuals have no real interest in the Catholic church anyway. This Martin fellow is chasing rainbows, hoping for a pot of gold. He won't find one.

The Church’s problem is that even stalwarts like Pope John Paul II failed to root the evil out of the clerical ranks. He was meek when the task demanded ruthlessness. The heretics went quiet and bided their time, only fully emerging after the Jesuits forced out Pope Benedict XVI. Now it’s as though the gates of hell have opened beneath the Vatican and every evil creature is crawling out of the depths of darkness.

Me too. The only people he seems to like are Muslims - who of course are out there stoning gays to death - so I’d say he’s seriously conflicted. But what he is mostly is anti-Catholic and anti-US.

"God made “LGBTQ people … who they are.”

You could say the same thing about any sinful tendency: heterosexual lust, greed, anger, sloth, envy, pride, addiction, and so forth. The doctrine of The Fall and Original Sin explains these without justifying them. We are all born with sinful tendencies, but that does not mean that we should accept them, much less celebrate them.

The biggest reform they need is to allow priests to marry. I’ve heard stories of homo abuse in the church for 60 years. Not new and not going away.

The high Vatican official needs to read and adhere to the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

If it is “homo abuse” then marrying won’t help much, will it?

How about this: anyone with SSA is out of the seminary, period.
