Even if we wish to peacefully coexist with them, the reverse will never - CAN never - be true. We are dealing with a mental illness regarding which attention-seeking at any cost, including total personal degradation, is a major feature.

The RESPONSIBILITY is to REPENT and SIN NO MORE.

NOT to promote the sin or pretend God doesn't care.

[The Toll]

Ok. Go burn

“What bothers me the most about gays & lesbians is they are always trying to push their sexuality in everybody’s face.”

That’s a disturbing analogy.

“The church is “institutionally homophobic”.” Of course it is. So am I. I have fear of unknown diseases carried around by vicious people. A priest got married? To another man? Wow. Double trouble.

Fine, send them to parishes and congregations in Iraq and other Islamic terrorist countries. Let them showcase the homosexual perversion there.

This affectionate fellow is Anglican, not Catholic.

If your kids are looking for "options," they should consider the option of taking their Confimation graces seriously, becoming more responsible members of the Church Militant, and fighting whether convenient or inconvenient, in season and out, for the Catholic Faith.

The present Pope and many of his higher-perch clerics are disgusting us by abandoning Catholicism. How can you fight that by...abandoning Catholicism??

Does leaving the Church present a good witness of unshakable courage and fidelity? Does YOUR leaving the Church make the Church a better place?

No fear.

No flight.

Stand and fight.

Marxists love envying the private property of their neighbors and planning ways to take it by force.

“My children are already looking for non Catholic worship options.”

Are they Catholic now? If so, how will they handle the absence of the Eucharist; the Real Presence of Jesus Christ’s Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity?

Or maybe that is of secondary importance to them?

[Da Coyote]

But their parishioners will.

[Gay State Conservative]

I assume that we’re talking about Anglican priests here. Unless I’m mistaken the Anglican Church stopped being Christian years ago so none of this should be a surprise..

[MomwithHope]

They don’t have to go away. They can do as Jesus said - Go and sin no more.

[terycarl]

Of course not. Satan will always have his tools infiltrating churches to try to bring them down.

Uhhhhhhhhhhh what did he look like???

[lightman]

My children are already looking for non Catholic worship options.

Look east to Orthodox Christianity.

Swim the Bosporus--the water is fine.

“What bothers me the most about gays & lesbians is they are always trying to push their sexuality in everybody’s face.”

Homosexuality used to be the love that dared not speak its name. Now it’s the love that won’t shut the **** up.

When you leave the Roman Catholic Church.....this is what you get.....make your own rules....SAD

Like Roman Catholicism is a bastion of heterosexual normalcy.

The irony is so rich........

[metmom]

Biblically speaking, people living in open sin should be removed from the church membership, and not allowed to partake in sacraments.

But the homosexual molesting priests are allowed to remain members and dispense the sacraments.

Don't Catholics see the disconnect there?

[metmom]

Our fidelity is to a person, Christ, not an organization, a church, no matter what it calls itself.

[metmom]

Homosexuality is not love.

It’s perverted sex.
