The Denomination also allows gay marriage:

Only ELCA “Lutherans”.. LCMS Wisconsin or ELS have not.

All the Mainlines, except the UMC. But the UMC will use the SCOTUS decision to separate the US conference from the Central Conferences (Africa and Asia) at their General Conference in 2016, so I predict that the UMC will go gay then.

But note that most of those mainlines have a orthodox, conservative “little brother” who is fighting the gay agenda with biblical truth.

Lutherans: ELCA is gay. LCMS and Wisconsin Synods are biblical

Presbyterians: PCUSA is gay. PCA, EPC, and OPC are biblical

Methodists: UMC is almost gay. Nazarenes and Wesleyans are biblical

UCC: all gay, all the time

Episcopals: TEC is gay, but many are fleeing back to the RCC

Baptists: ABC is gay, the rest of the Baptists are biblical

It makes sense to make a distinction between denominations that actually approve homosexual practice, and those which nevertheless have members (both laity and leaders) who break their own church laws.

In the first category would be, as far as I know, Liberal, Reform and Conservative Judaism. IN the second category, Orthodox Judaism.

In the first category, LCA. In the second, LCMS.

In the first category, PCUSA. In the second, the Orthodox and the Catholics.

The President of the National Council of Catholic Bishops called it a “Tragic Error”, and they have consistently been an outspoken opponent to gay marriage.

Your statement about the Catholic church is true, they did cover-up for gay priests in their organization. That was a very bad thing, and they have paid dearly for it and changed their policy.

So your implication that because they were complicit in covering up past deeds they somehow support gay marriage is completely incorrect.

FR has a lot of anti-Catholics, perhaps this is just more of that, but I’m going to assume good faith in your posting.

Check out some of the Presbyterians too.

Catholics have never, never, endorse homosexuality or same-sex marriage.

I don’t think I saw Mennonite on the list. Indeed the Mennonite churches are splitting due to the homosexuality issue. At least our area churches are.

Not all Lutherans. While the ELCA or largest Lutheran synod is officially apostate, the LCMS (lutheran church missouri synod) the WELS, the LCMC and some smaller groups remain Biblically sound.
