RE: The Catholic Church won’t marry gays in any one of the countries

It’s not the Catholic Church’s doctrine that is the problem, it is the adherents themselves who are the problem.

“It’s not the Catholic Church’s doctrine that is the problem, it is the adherents themselves who are the problem.”

That seems a strange statement.

It makes the doctrine into just a slogan.
It makes the Catholic denomination marginally influential in the lives of those it counts as Catholics.
If the teachings of the Catholic church don’t change lives, in what sense is it valid??
