WASHINGTON — The District’s top Catholic leader has weighed in on the Supreme Court’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage.
“The law of the land is the law of the land,” says Archbishop of Washington Cardinal Donald Wuerl. “We certainly follow what the law says. That doesn’t mean we change the word of God. That doesn’t mean we change the scriptures, or the church’s millennia-long tradition of what marriage is.”
Everyone is welcome to the faith, Wuerl says: “Nobody is turned away because of their sexual identity, because of their race because of their ethnic background. And are we not all struggling to live the gospel?”
The Catholic church teaching will not change, but Cardinal Wuerl says Pope Francis has been more inclusive.
“He keeps saying, ‘Go out. Go out and meet people where they are. And in that encounter, walk with them, accompany them,'” Wuerl continues. “I think that’s what the church is saying. We all need to walk together as we try to make our way closer and closer to God.”
So Cardinal, what are you going to do about it and what are you going to tell your congregants (especially those directly affected by this law ) to do?
Disgusting. But not surprising at all. The German bishops under the Nazis seem to be their model.
Indeed, the “Final Solution” was law of the land in the Third Reich as well.....
Is he trying to tell us that the Catholic church is going to start marrying homos?
Perhaps he’s preparing to come out of the closet?
Maybe.
Well, isn't that special.
Just like Obama, Follows the Law Of The Land ,LOL
Since a significant number of priests are homosexual, this wouldn’t be very surprising. Homosexual clergy will seek favor for other homosexuals. We have already seen this with the church’s pedophiles.
“Is he trying to tell us that the Catholic church is going to start marrying homos?”
It will start with individual parishes with activist priest(s). Just like everything else the left does.
The Cardinal places the liberal secular homosexual law over God and the Bible. Watch out, God is keeping book. Absolutely disgusting!
“First they came for the Jews.........”
They say that only if it suits they views.
Like when they get caught lying....they misspoke.

What part would you disagree with? It is doctrinally sound.
Wrong. The laws of nature and nature’s God and the Constitution are the law of this land.
Immoral supreme court opinions don’t rise anywhere near that level.
According to the first principles of this free republic, such opinions are null and void.
The man is ignorant.
The cardinal is also a bird....and this bird needs the papers changed on the bottom of his cage!
Perhaps cardinal puff might represent this prelate more precisely.
The man is a homophile.
AHA!
The RED WHIRLY-BIRD strikes again.
(and the faggot "priests" you rode in on)
>>What part would you disagree with? It is doctrinally sound.<<
The part where the boy-raping monsters are NOT told to; "Repent, go forth, and sin no more."
