A Conversation on Same Sex "Marriage" with Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco

He will be kicked out of the Church as a heretic by the new “anything goes, there is no such thing as sin except conservative thought” Pope, mark my words.
Not saying here anything about any specific individual or congregation ...
My observation about Romans 1:18-32 is that homosexuality is so obviously condemned by Scripture, OT and NT, that by the time someone has departed from the truth enough that they are openly engaging in the described attitudes they are pretty far gone.
That means they will have already made who knows how many compromises with the world. Long before they’ll have been doing things like winking at adultery, adultery-by-remarriage, ethical corruption, pawning off the opportunity to care for your neighbor on the professionals in government (being generous with your vote) etcetera before they ever find themselves advocating for homosexual normalization.
Pray that God will strengthen him.
Marriage is a religious concept of Christianity, Jewish Faith, Muslim Faith etc. It has little to do with government and in fact nothing to do with government. All these faiths define marriage as between a man and a woman. Unfortunately many religious leaders have redefined what their faiths are. They are religiously corrupt.
When same sex marriage is forced on us it defiles our religious faiths and that includes all of the above faiths mentioned. To me the real problem is government becoming the arbitrator of religious philosophy of what defines marriage.
I have absolutely zero problems with a same sex union of a couple. They also deserve the same benefits other couples have in relationship to medical insurance, tax rates, inheritance etc. I know a few (worked in a VA Hospital) and they were good workers and colleagues. Marriage should be a religious function and not governmental. I knew a few gay nurses, mostly female and a few male. Most of them were exceptional workers of skill. If I were their patient I would have zero problems with this.
The majority of the gay community just want to live their lives quietly. Unfortunately in the media we only see the radical left of that community. Those individuals do a disservice to the rest of the gay community.
ps
The Muslim faith allows a man to have more than one wife. This is absolute proof that they are paying great penance. :) :) :) :) Hope my wife does not read this post!

Same sex marriage did everything that we predicted it would: total ruination of society; gateway to perversion and cultural rot.
Cart: Horse.
Sex comes first, then comes Marriage - in terms of the order of Creation. Sex is about reproduction.
There is no functional form of sexuality between two persons of the same sex.
Redefining sex based on so-called marriage for love instead of reproduction is putting cart before horse.
If such unions are allowed to adopt children, then I have a problem with it: inherent corruption of an innocent and helpless child.
.
“Same sex” is not marriage.
It is utterly devoid of reproductive purpose.
Its a mockery of marriage.
.
.
Human trafficing in every sense of the term.

I agree with you 100%. A child may become a helpless victim in this. You are correct!
One only needs to look a statistics which are politically incorrect on this subject and seldom mentioned.
