As usual, no mention of the virtue of chastity and the practice of continence nor encouragement for those heroic individuals who live out these virtues amidst personal sacrifice. Since these functional agnostics deny the power of God's grace to transform lives, they're left to rage against "doctrine" and to grovel before the zeitgeist. The unrelenting focus on homosexuality speaks volumes.

it sure beats the jizya, stoning, beheading, hobbling, and gang raping that rounds out muslim mercy towards infidels.

Responsible exegetes see conditions that can result in biblically legitimate cases of divorce and remarriage. This is not true of sodomy, which is unconditionally condemned. It is not helpful to discuss the two matters in a single context.

The Church exists to give man the opportunity to conform to God’s image.

The Church does not exist to conform to man’s image of what is acceptable.

Don’t join the church if you can’t live up to the standards.

Confirming a person in his sin is hardly merciful, nor is it loving...

Just saying...

Marx said that the German bishops were unanimous, but I find it hard to believe that Mueller would go along with this.
