Norway's Lutheran Church voted on Monday in favor of allowing same-sex marriage, becoming the latest of a small but growing number of churches worldwide to do so.

Last year the French Protestant Church allowed gay marriage blessings, while the U.S. Presbyterian Church approved a change in the wording of its constitution to include same-sex marriage.

I didn’t know God was elected.

Might as well vote the 10 Commandments and strip the New Testament out while they’re at it...

They are apostates who have rejected SOLA Scriptura.

The priests lead us in EVERY Mass to pray for the Pope and our respective bishops. It is part of the Ordinary of the Mass.

Given most of what passes for nuns nowadays, I am not sure we need more of them. These are NOT our grandparents' nuns who faithfully taught in our parochial schools the doctrines of the Faith and, despite often having merely a high school diploma, kept Catholic school kids two years academically ahead of the inmates of gummint skewels, not an army of Mother Teresas caring for the wretched of the earth, not even social worker nuns counseling observance by the laity of their marriage vows.

Today's nun is more highly edumakated (brainwashed by the left), likely a feminazi, cannot be bothered conveying their faith (?), if any, to a new generation of children, all wrapped up in the glory of propagandizing in favor of communist governments wherever possible, peace at any price, equality of everything, gun confiscation, "rampaging progressivism on a field of vomit, and every other abomination known to man, woman or beast.

Yes, there are a few decent orders of traditional nuns, each and every member a heroine of the Faith, but they are few and far between.

If we want real nuns, we have to start all over again, raise our daughters to consider vocations, absolutely suppress the LCWR and many leftwing orders. When we have a Catholic pope again, he should renew the rigorous investigation by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of American nuns this time with public excommunications.

While God expects each of us to do our respective parts with the talents he gave us, the gates of hell shall indeed not prevail against it. We have that on the very highest Authority.

Norway has basically had state recognized ‘gay marriage’ since 93, but called it ‘registered partnerships’ until 2009 when they started to call it marriage.

Again, the weirdest thing here is that the Norway state churches didn’t choose to marry their gay members until the state accepted it. That might be more insane that accepting ‘gay marriage’ in the first place.

You have to admit, though, that it would be a whole lot easier if the most recent conclave had chosen Raymond Cardinal Burke or Robert Cardinal Sarah. No man is perfect these last two thousand years but those two are a LOT closer to perfect than what we’ve got now.

The Reformation continues to roll on, reforming everything in its wake.

It would be easier in one sense, but perhaps that “easier” is what has gotten us into trouble, because we simply trusted that good popes were doing good for the Church.

St. Pius X was a good Pope, wasn’t he? Read up on what he did to the Divine Office. Overturned 1500 years of tradition in the blink of an eye, and it went largely unnoticed by the laity, who don’t pray the Office. Liturgical scholars like Dom Alcuin Reid are now starting to question whether this paved the way for the radical changes in the Mass that followed.

Did they let God have a vote?

How many protestant Norwegians go to church every Sunday? Not many there or anywhere in Europe.

This is fleeting. In about 10 years, the Muslim population will be large enough and vocal enough in Norway that homosexuality will be a crime again.

1 Thess 4:1-8. They have rejected God.

Yep. It's merely a social status.

Speaking of Pope Francis --- how long until the Catholic Church is the only church that doesn't do gay marriage?

"Officially," or in practice?

Did you noticed the old pastor on the left in the photo? That is Oslo Bishop Ole Kristian Kvarme who vehemently opposes gay marriage. As I am sure God is, he looks none too happy.

The two idiots next to him look delighted with themselves. We’ll see if they still have those smirks on their faces on judgement day.

They have a term here for Christians who really believe Jesus is their Lord and Savior. They are called “personal Christians”
