I don’t have knowledge of the typical Catholic or Christian church in America on this topic. Is the church really silent on this issue?

It depends on the church.

I can’t and won’t speak of what the RCC is doing, because I’m not Catholic. The mainline Protestant churches (UMC, TEC, PCUSA, ELCA, UCC, ABC, and one other, but I forget what it is) are not only silent, they are actively pursuing culture over scripture to maintain “relevance”. The more hardcore scripture-based denominations are constantly accused of intolerance for their strong stand on biblical morality.

Marriage is a sentence in the Catholic church, you are stuck with your decision you made at age 20 or whatever

I see a church constantly trying to entice new attendees with billboards of their new sermon coming up and it most often has a play on a sexual word or theme.

when a church is reaching out to the public like that (and it’s one of the 5-10k “member” churches in the area) they have already slipped to the opposite side of the bible message in my thinking.


I attended their Easter eve service over a decade ago they served hotdogs etc before hand. People not only had soda/water in church which was new to me back then, but the man next to me stepped out during the pastor’s message and came back in with another hot dog to eat! Like the one I saw he ate before service was not enough?
