The Government decided that there was “Church” and “State”
The “State” is not to interfere with the “Church” and the “Church” is not to interfere with the “State” so...
According to Government rule this to me means that “We” of the “Church” believe in OUR beliefs and the “State” can believe in THEIR decisions. Right? Right.
Exactly. There is an excess of drama and handwringing surrounding this particular group, and the type of "care" and "attention" they require. Is the incessant focus on homosexuals and how the Church should deal with them a consequence of the 15 - 58% of homosexuals in the priesthood? Whatever the reason, it's starting to get really old.
They should be told it’s a Mortal sin (damnation) to practice homosexual behavior.
The Catholic Church defines marriage as a sacrament. The state grants the license for legal purposes such as contracts and such. I have no problem if a same sex couple wants to have a civil ceremony for the same purpose, but I will not stand for them calling it a marriage. And by them I mean anyone.
It used to be called "the sin that dare not speak it's name." Now it is "the sin that will not sit down and shut up."

So sick of hearing the whining of the drama queens.
Homosexuals are “simply messed up people”. Those that express alternative sexual orientations in general have a greater incidence of having been sexually abused so its not surprising that they are messed up.
Eliminating homophobia? What’s that even mean? If practicing homosexual acts is a sin, shouldn’t the faithful be abhorred by it?
At the same time, Christians are taught to love the sinner. So obviously we would work to love someone suffering from Same Sex Attraction and work to help them get on and stay on track.
Accuracy isn’t a requirement for dictionary definitions anymore. Even the definitions suffer from PC.
The Atonement overcomes all. Thanks for sharing.
Exclude them from Matrimony and Holy Orders. Cherish them as she does all sinners, but keep them away from children.
It is a caucus thread. The post should be removed.
There are several people on here that need removal from this thread. Mods must have the night off. Oh! I forgot, Catholics are fair game on here. Caucus or not!
I just reported it.
