Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Kaine, a practicing Catholic, on Saturday described his evolution on same-sex marriage and predicted that his church would change its views as well.

“My full, complete, unconditional support for marriage equality is at odds with the current doctrine of the church that I still attend,” Kaine said at a dinner celebrating gay rights. “But I think that’s going to change, too.”

Kaine, a senator from Virginia, spoke to a crowd of about 3,700 attending the 20th Annual Human Rights Campaign National Dinner in Washington, at which he also touted reasons why his running mate, presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, was far better on equality issues than Republican Donald Trump.

“Donald Trump is no friend to this community, and he’s no friend to the value of equality.”

Kaine said he wanted to be honest about his own struggles with reconciling his advocacy of equal rights with the teachings of a church that restricts marriage to a man and woman.

Has he read the Scriptures lately?

When God says “I do not change” there is no proviso for unless it pleases sinners!

This guy makes Pontius Pilate look like a martyr for truth and justice.

God will not be amused.

[chajin]

If he’s a practicing Catholic then he needs to practice some more, until he gets his orthopraxis right.

“My full, complete, unconditional support for marriage equality is at odds with the current doctrine of the church that I still attend,” Kaine said at a dinner celebrating gay rights.

Then:

1) He's not a Catholic.

2) He doesn't know his faith: Catholic doctrine can't change.

3) He's too blindingly stupid to be vice president.

Jesus preached for homos to marry and abortion on demand and socialism and class envy and big government and...

At least to liberals.

This pope damned near got me to leave the church if the church and this pope even try to approve of this I AM DONE with my Catholic faith!!!!

[Daralundy]

Unfortunately, there is some doubt about the current pope being a catholic too.

[Fungi]

Kaine is an absolute idiot. He knows nothing about the Bible, much less about his own “faith.” Par for the course for “progressive liberals.” Truth is not the objective, it is holding your finger to the wind, seeing which way the people are swaying, then sway with them. This jackass is a perfect fit for the Hildabeast, both of them have no clue on morality or sound judgment; both are literal fools.

[jospehm20]

Why not? The Pope is not really Catholic either.

[NKP_Vet]

Kaine is a complete moron and he’s not a “practicing Catholic”.
Practicing Catholics don’t believe in queer marriage and murdering the unborn. He’s make me want to throw up.

[Salvation]

Kaine is so wrong.

Evidently he hasn’t read this part of the Bible.

“And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

“Therefore God gave them over...”

[Kickass Conservative]

What is his stance on Incestuous Marriage and Polygamous Marriage when it comes to Marriage Equality?

As one of Hillary’s Basket People I have a right to know.

[Karl Spooner]

I saw where Trump is behind with the Catholic vote. Given the other choice is Hillary.....

After all Kaine is a religious scholar. Not. What a scum bag politician. And weirdo.
