[Genoa]

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.

Not helpful to the cause of Christ, but very helpful to the destruction of Christianity.

The bishops feel guilty about their “harsh and merciless” actions. Make everyone feel guilty and ashamed in order to give cover for their eventual capitulation (embracing?) to sodomy. They argue directly against some “harsh and merciless” mean and nasty god that makes them feel all yucky inside.

As an aside, I suppose it happens, but has anyone seen this “harsh and merciless” action actually happen? Never once in my 55 years have I witnessed a harsh and merciless defense of doctrine from any of my pastors. Instead I see silence, apathy, and pandering. God’s righteousness will never change.

1. It is a strategic mistake to combine homosexual behavior with divorce and remarriage.
2. Catholics solve divorce and remarriage by investigating whether the prior marriage was sacramental. If not, the previous marriage is considered null, as if it never happened with God, and it is not an impediment to remarriage. This is a process of the Catholic Church and, as such, is subject to change.
