This is not a religion issue.

This is a common sense issue.

It is simply illogical to allow those with this sexual fetish behavior anywhere near children. It is illogical to society to promote such a behavior fetish which contributes NOTHING to society.

The selective anecdote quotes are just the left trying to limit opposition are “merely religions” and thus defining the pro hedonist side as “logical”. IOW religion = illogical. To argue religion alone concedes the debate to the enemy.

I knew a man years ago who moved out of town. . Seems he got up in front of the choir, announced he was a homo, was kicked out of he choir right then and out of the church a few days later. It was a SBC.

But if they were already living together as a married couple would, then why was this not an issue for the Church?

Was it in their face? Did the morally bankrupt twosome make it an issue?

These days the church rarely looks into the pre-marital living arrangements even of heterosexuals.

Truthfully I don’t care. It is against God’s law and a slap in the face of God and His design. It can’t be condoned.

And Judy Janish and the rest of the cafeterial liberal “catholics” need to find another faith that believes in sodomite “marriage. And do me a favor, don’t let the door hit you in the rear end.

To be Catholic you either believe in the Catechism of the Catholic Church AND EVERYTHING it contains or you have ceased being Catholic. There is no in between. You are either in 100% or you are not Catholic. The problem we have are coward priests that will not tell these characters the truth. But the EXACT SAME THING happens in any protestant denomination in the world.

How the heck can a person who’s obviously gay be allowed to even have a leadership position in any kind of Church? Sorry, but unrepentant sin, Is the Gospel even being preached at this “Church”?

Christianity flourished in the midst of the excesses and collapse of the Roman Empire because it stood for a strong morale foundation and a belief in something larger than self. This is being destroyed in front of our very eyes.

...and being replaced by Islam, which offers a strong moral foundation and a belief in something larger than self. Because the Christian church no longer does.

"I think it's unfortunate," said member Judy Janish. "I think people should be able to marry who they love and who they belong with."

I love my mother; she loves me.

Would Miz Judy approve of our marriage?

Islam is a very selfish religion wherein everyone submits to the rule and whims of a single ruler. It is a religion designed for subjugation and enslavement, not much of a basis for a strong moral foundation.

Given the state of “music” in most Novus Ordo parishes, I would be in favor of the entire choir resigning in protest.

Meanwhile, the statements from outraged parishioners quoted in the excerpt show the utter lack of catechesis among Catholics in the post-conciliar church.

...if not for the fact that I know I didn’t write the above, I’d have thought I did...

It’s always a bit surprising to note how many Catholics seem okay with just subverting the Church’s values.

...no more surprising than the Church just subverting the traditional worship of the Faithful, basically to satisfy whimsical notions of ‘ecumenism’...

There are Roman Catholics here who don’t believe God an Allah are the same, which is contrary to the teachings of the RV catechism.

"Sounds like a lot of Catholic thinking I have encountered."

I find it odd that you would characterize a line of thought in direct opposition to Catholic Doctrine as "Catholic thinking."

And while we agree with those FRoman Catholics who don't believe God and Allah are the same, we'd be remiss not to remind them not to be "cafeteria Catholics" by picking and choosing what parts of the catechism that they will adhere to.
