Even if a U.S. Supreme Court ruling this spring makes same-sex marriage the law of the land, it would leave pockets of the country where it isn’t likely to be recognized any time soon: the reservations of a handful of sovereign Native American tribes, including the nation’s two largest. --SNIP-- The Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma and the Navajo Nation, with about 300,000 members each, maintain decade-old laws that don’t recognize same-sex marriage. Neither tribe has shown much sign of shifting.

Wvwn the most primitive tribes know homosexuality isn’t normal. Its not natural; its a perversion invented by people with too much time on their hands...

Count my “tribe” as a holdout too! Catholic.
This could be interesting. I wonder if the gay lobby is going to start harassing the tribes. It’s one thing to go after Catholics and Protestants, but accusing Native Americans of homophobia is something else.
They need to appoint some of their own federal judges so it can be imposed against their will.
Liberal activists pit groups against each other. Why can’t we? :-)
Yes, well thanks be to God for the Indians. And, for Oklahoma!
At least a minority who is prized by the Left, certainly not known as conservative, speaks out also, and not with a forked tongue, but with the simple truth.
It might be too difficult for a Harvard educated Community Organizer to understand how a nut and a bolt work or how the two different parts of a trailer hitch function together.
But doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand some basic principles of natural law and grasp the proper way and the wrong way of fitting some things together.
Well, something on their hands, that's for sure...
[rimshot] Thank you! I'm here all week! Try the veal!
We know the gay mafia won’t stop until every American is forced to accept their lifestyle as mainstream. That said, picking a fight with Native Americans is one they might want to avoid.
Maybe Elizabeth Warren will talk them out of it.
Here is what the catechism says- and that is- what the Catholic Church says - about homosexuality. And the reference is certainly biblical as all of Catholicism is , namely, ref 141 Cf. Gen 191-29; Rom 12
No Member of the Church ire archly can change it, no priest pope or bishop, no school teacher, fallen away catholic, feminist nor anyone calling themselves Catholic, disagreeing with this for whatever reason can change this. No Supreme Court ruling can change catholic teaching
So I guess by tribe the author is hinting that she thinks she can change church teaching by shaming the church calling it tribal
When people state that their own wisdom is better than teaching that comes from the word of God the church warns against pride
<"Oh Little Big Man! You look tired! Won't you come into my ti-pi and resth on thoft furs? I will be your wife!"
It’s more than a “handful” of “tribes” who will never accept the falsehood of homosexual “marriage”. Pushback there will be.
Didn’t the Osage or Pawnee tribes of Oklahoma recently embrace sodomite marriage?
Oh yes that is her point. Two thousand year old antiquated primitive ignorant silly tribe. Go talk to your pope and set them all straight
Here’s what the Catechism says, and it’s under thaw section title.tge sixth commandment. That’s biblical, for those inclined to flame
And
141 Cf. Gen 191-29; Rom 12
Chastity and homosexuality
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,141 tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.”142 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.
