You can spout all your Catholic Church-bashing statistics from liberal polls all you want but the Catholic Church will never allow openly homosexual priests into their ranks.

You can spout all the defend-Rome-at-any-cost-to-credibility propaganda all you want, and deny the majority of RCs as being members, but the FACT is that the Catholic Church believes in allowing those who support, even openly, homosexuals to be included in her ranks, including priests.

They do not have to go and apply for membership as “pastors” or as members at a few protestant faiths that may care less than others if a man “marries” another man, or a woman “marries” another woman, these usually being those which are closer to Rome than others -

But such are very unlikely to be in evangelical ranks, as that that tribe is far more opposed to homosexual relations than Rome is, faith being judged by actions and fruit, as Scripture says it is. (Mt. 7:20; Ja. 2:18)

Read the Catechiam of the Catholic Church. How many times have you posted the same statistics. You think if you post them enough times the Catholic Church will start allowing openly homosexual men to become priests and allow abortion on demand, and allow women in the clergy. NONE of these WILL EVER HAPPEN in the Catholic Church. The Church Church, unlike almost all protestant faiths, does not base it’s doctrine on a show of hands or the prevailing culture of the day. It bases his doctrine on the Bible. Not going to change, no matter how much you spout off about how many so-called “Catholics” believe in immorality. The VERY REASON that so many Anglicans are converting to Catholicism is because their faith has caved into the sodomite agenda. The Catholic Church NEVER WILL.

“but the FACT is that the Catholic Church believes in allowing those who support, even openly, homosexuals to be included in her ranks, including priests.”

Can it be that you really don’t understand the difference between the Catholic Church holding a doctrine and sinful men who temporarily occupy offices within the Church defying her teachings?

Or would it be more to the point to reflect on the one whom Our Lord and Savior called “the father of lies?”

I think it would.

What’s the difference between an atheist and a satinist?
The satanist knows who his boss is.

Maybe that’s true of other people, too.
