Of course, that is the new mantra of the Church. ‘Tolerance’, even for that which is abhorrent.
The homosexuals in the Church leadership have been playing a double game for a very, very long time.
I fear that may be about to end.
The activists are flushed with victory, they see the enemy routed (not sure they’re right about that), and they will now commence slaughtering the stragglers.
Maybe he can round up some alter boys and have one big compassion party for them.
Bitchy little perverted tyrants dont get hugs from me.
Funny - I may have missed it. But I never heard a gay person interviewed who thanked God for the court ruling. And I never heard a gay person go to great lengths to state his or her lack of hatred or bigotry for Christians the way that Christians do for gays. Maybe I missed it.
Compassion? Yes. Capitulation? No.
Let’s see how tolerant gays are of any priest’s refusal to marry them.
The lecturing goes one way: we must be tolerant of Islam after another beheading, we must be tolerant of . . . . after the next catastrophe.
Eventually folks stop listening.
Maybe his will be the first diocese with a “gay marriage” officiated by the clergy. Actually, IIRC, the dread Fr. Phleger has already offered to do this.
Another fag bishop heard from. Haven’t these boys wreaked enough havoc on their church already?
From everything I have heard, Cupich is one of Pope Francis’s worst appointments. Chicago is heading back down into the sewer.
Well, what did anyone expect from Bernardin's mini-me?
Wouldn’t compassion toward gay people involve helping them get out of that destructive lifesteyle?
Just as compassion for people in a burning car would involve helping them out of the burning car.

Incorrect. The Church call us to respect and avoid unjust discrimination for those who have same sex attraction. It does not do so for those who publicly proclaim that they are deliberately and willfully engaging in acts of sodomy or who advocate that such acts are not sinful. The attraction is a mental disorder and we should have compassion for those who are attempting to overcome it and live chaste lives. Sodomy is a vile and disgusting sin. One of the reason the homosexual movement has be successful is that they blur the distinction under the one word "homosexual."
The Pink Mafia controls Rome.
We’ve never NOT had compassion towards gay people. We just don’t want them getting married, or acting as scoutmaster to our kids.
The homosexual impulse has no equivalent reason that can be discern other that a corruption of the heterosexual impulse
..I can be indifferent to others personal irrationality but I will not service or summit to others irrationality not call it reason or truth.... if I do then I become irrational myself
self evident truths exposes self-evident problems...and problem are not resolved by getting others to say its not a problem

Here is another reaction:
“Springfield bishop calls gay marriage ruling a ‘misfortune’
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Springfield Bishop Thomas Paprocki calls the U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage a “misfortune.”
Paprocki said in a statement Friday morning that the government “has no moral authority to change what god has created.” Illinois has allowed gay marriages since last year after state lawmakers approved them in 2013.
The Roman Catholic bishop says just because the government legalizes gay marriage “does not make it morally valid.”
Paprocki leads the Diocese of Springfield, which includes more than 140,000 Catholics in 28 counties in central Illinois covering more than 15,000 square miles.”
Read the entire statement. It completely ignores the concept of the rule of law, focusing instead on the results of the decisions from the point of view of the Left.
In includes an inference of bigotry on the part of those opposed to the decision.
Affirmation of Church teaching is a tiny afterthought in the entire statement.
It would not be unreasonable to deduct from this statement that the bishop expects Catholics to accept both decisions as good and wholesome developments in our society.
This is what the Catholic bishops have offered for 50 years in America, and this is where their evil pronouncements have led our society.
Bravo!
(But who am I to judge?)
