No, the Catholic Church will not change. What will probably happen is that there will be a challenge of a gay wedding somewhere, then a lawsuit, then the Catholic Church will drop its tax exempt status and stand firm for traditional marriage. Or there might be only legal marriage — and no more Holy Matrimony.
Our priest spent nearly 20 minutes on this at a daily Mass today. He won’t be here this weekend since he is traveling to Chicago for the weekend to be with an aunt who is dying. So we will get our Sunday sermon on this next week.
Watch it play out.
Think back to the sexual abuse and how it insidiously began with one case.
Same thing will happen here....they hate the Catholic Church because it stands for truth. So they (the homosexuals) will attack.
What do you mean there will be no more Holy Matrimony? The Church won’t drop a sacrament. I may just be misunderstanding your comment. I do know they’ll lose their tax status so the charities and hospitals will suffer. But I’m sure gay men will pick up the slack!
It will depend on the parish, maybe the diocese. Some will go gay, some will not.
My priest laughed years ago at the prospect of being forced to perform gay marriage.
He said he’d die first as would many of his fellow priests.
