Just because some bishop says a person is not entitled to get married, because they are a parapalegic and unable to have sex, does not make it the word of God.

The Word of God says that marriage requires the ability of each spouse to partake in the unitive aspect of the sacrament, at minimum.

The bishop is merely passing the Word along.

Furthermore, it required about 550 years for the Catholic Church to admit that Galileo was correct, the Earth was in orbit about the Sun.

That is a complete myth, invented by the Church's enemies for propaganda purposes and retailed by the gullible.

It could also be argued, the clergy only claim to speak for God. There is no proof they are in direct communication with God.

What I believe God wants from me, is for me to be kind to people. So, I listen, but I don’t criticize people.
