1. "This shift in venue should not be regarded as acquiescence on the issue of marriage or seen as a retrenchment," Lafreniere said in a prepared statement. "To the contrary, it was an effort to better focus our efforts on providing the faithful with a comprehensive understanding and appreciation for the church's teachings on marriage in all its fullness."
2. "His wife said that while gay activists want to talk about love, the conversation should be about marriage.
"You have to redirect the conversation back to what is marriage," Angela Franks said. "Don't get stuck in a conversation about love. Talk about marriage.""
there is no if in the bible about this..
Not happy with their response. Do you think the gay marraige advocates are going to be holding back money? :(
The fundamental premise that supports same sex couples is that men and women are 100% interchangeable. That premise is also associated with feminism. That premise is false and easily proven so by common sense.
Sexual union between same sex couples can only be achieved by means of acts of sexual perversion with its attend risks of sexually transmitted disease, mental health problems, and exposure of risks to the general public. Public health and elected officials, if they were doing their jobs, would forbid same sex marriage because it comprises the health and safety of the people they have sworn to protect. It is that simple.
This means they have a vicar running the diocese, and he's probably pro-gay and hated Bishop Malone all along and now he's getting his revenge.
I hope the Pope appoints somebody new and orthodox there ASAP!
This is D-i-v-s-e-r-t-y on steroids and The Politically Correct having their cherished dialogues. Men cannot procreate with men and women of course cannot procreate with women except with artificial insemination. At some point in time siblings will be marrying siblings.....this is not what our Creator had in mind when he told Adam and Eve they could hold hands as it were..........
So says Pope Frank "I love a smorgasbord" O'Hara
God made man and women uniquely compatible and complimentary, in more ways than the physical aspect, and only joined them in marriage, which Jesus Himself specified. (Gn. 2:18-24; Mt. 19:3-5) Homosexual unions are only condemned by God in the Scriptures by design and decree, in principle and in precept.
Prohomosexual activists seem to understand better than many in the church that the Bible is the ultimate enemy on earth of their practice, and thus spend inordinate amounts of time seeking to negate the injunction against homosexual relations, and find sanction for them.
And, which, as in their practice, requires forcing sex into passages it does not belong to, and negating the authority of the Bible, and or the use of a hermeneutic which would negate any moral law. (An extensive examination and refutation of such attempts can be seen here: http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/Homosex_versus_the_Bible.html)
I was surprised however that a women could be a director at a RC seminary.
