The RC Church tolorates a lot or breaking of it’s doctorines if the name is right. It tolorates the presence in it’s buildings and gives communion to a political family which calls for the murder of the unborn yet strains at a man and a woman being joined in marriage? What’s wrong with this picture? Something is very wrong and very missing. One set of laws for some and another set for others. But such is the state of many of todays churches. One church even invoking Christ name as it’s own leads the way in our moral decline. The United Church of Christ for example.

Interesting claim.

It tolorates the presence in it’s buildings

Are you really unaware of the notion of a "public accomodation"?

and gives communion to a political family which calls for the murder of the unborn

I see - so your entire argument is that if some priest somewhere does the wrong thing, and another priest does the right thing, then the priest who does the right thing should be condemned.

yet strains at a man and a woman being joined in marriage?

The man in question is incapable of contracting marriage. The bishop cannot in conscience pretend that a non-marriage is a marriage.

Why should he be forced to lie to God, to himself and to the rest of the faithful so that two individuals can feel better about themselves?

Basically, your issue is that you do not agree with the Catholic Church on the necessary criteria for a marriage.

You are saying that the Catholic Church is wrong for not breaking God's law in order to accomodate two individuals.

You spoke earlier about "breaking doctrine" - when a person who shouldn't receive communion receives communion, this is a break in discipline - not doctrine.

It would be departing from Christian doctrine to pretend that a non-marriage is a marriage and proclaim it to be so.
