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

Not officially, but Scripturally what you do and foster constitutes the evidence of what you really believe, (Mt. 7:20; Ja. 2:18) and by treating even proabortion/sodomite/Muslim public figures as members in life and in death, then Rome manifests to the people what she really means by what she officially says.

And the laity much reflect that, or the prelates reflect them .

Yeah, ok. But 70% of the Congress is some form of Protestant. Have any of them ever been called out, kicked out, or sanctioned for their pro-abortion views? Jimmy Carter was a deacon or something in the Southern Baptists. Eventually, he quit. But they never kicked him out.

So, I think you protest too much. Religious organizations are voluntary and don't have the power they had even 20 years ago. To try to make the Catholic's somehow the poster children for this seems over the top.

On this thread: I posted a non-equivical statement by the highest ranking Catholic in the USA against gay marriage.

Now's the time to get on the record. I'm looking through this and I'm not seeing any other leaders of the various Protestant Christian sects making clear public statements. Surely that matters too?

(1) Muslims are not Catholics. They are not baptised nor believers in the Trinity, and it's by baptism that a person enters the Catholic church.

(2) Proabortion/sodomites: The Church is indeed full of sinners. It's a scandalous matter of pastoral malpractice that unrepentant manifest sinners are not disciplined on the basis of Canon 915, which states that unrepentant manifest grave sinners are not to be admitted to Holy Communion. Former top canonical judge Cardinal Raymond Burke --- whose ruling still stands--- ruled that this means barring Catholic politicians who advocate/promote/sponsor/legislate grave sins.

Are the prelates who violate Canon 915 by admitting these pols to Communion, thereby objectively committing grave sin themselves? Yes, they are. Is it the sort of sin that, unrepented, will lead to eternal damnation? Yes, it is.
