"Jesus offered forgiveness and healing to all who sought it. And when some objected to this compassion, he responded: "Let the one among you who is guiltless be the first to throw the stone,"(John 8:7"
Funny how they always leave off Repentence and Reconciliation.
You have never seen such fear and intolerance until gays get power - they allow no discord at all (hate crime legislation, mandatory and forced indoctrination, etc.)
They are calling for acceptance of their deviant life choices.
I'm a Christian AND a sinner. But, at least I've got the good grace to be ashamed of my sins and try to be better.
Christ loved sinners, but He never condoned the sin. He told them to go and sin no more. Morals don't change. Homosexual acts are against natural law and can never be anything but perverted. The Episcopal church will welcome you. They change the Ten Commandments. Any Catholic bishop that encourages you to live in this sinful way should be disciplined.
this is a most interesting remark. It almost seems as though they admit that they "don't live up to His teachings;" that they are "guilty" of something.
Wonder what they think they are guilty of...
Hate the sin, love the sinner.
I don't think the Church will be changing it's stand anytime soon.
No, they have lobbied FOR the teachings of the Bible.
Our grief is intensified because many in the GLBT Catholic Community feel alienated from the Church because of this assault on our human rights.
No, they are alienated because of their sins.
We believe the Bishops have a serious obligation to root out structures and attitudes that discriminate against the homosexual as a person.
No, they have a serious obligation to root out sin and attitudes that defy the teaching of Scripture.
A small number of courageous Bishops are exerting their leadership in behalf of this effort, and these Bishops will have our full support and prayers.
But not of Heaven.
when some objected to this compassion, he responded: "Let the one among you who is guiltless be the first to throw the stone,"(John 8:7)
Yes, and then He concluded by admonishing the prostitute to "Go forth and sin no more." Mercy is only half the equation; correction is the other half.
Nice attempt at reversing the charges.
Message to the Red Sash Gang....the 10 Commandments instruct us to,among other things,not to commit adultery. your inability to understand this clearly indicates that you are,in fact,unitarian/Universalists.
So,from now on,you can skip attending Mass and attend whatever political struggles meetings they hold in your new "church".
Geesh, these people care more about where their genitals go today than where their souls go in eternity.
I wonder how many of them are even CINO Catholic? I bet a lot of them are totally unchurched and just show up to make a disturbance. No Holy Communion for those wearing sashes.
Humans have the right to sin I suppose, since without God they can do no other, but they certainly haven't the right to demand approval for their sin from others, and especially not from Christ or His followers. Might I point out to these people just exactly what their sin cost our Savior? And the day of Pentecost being about the gift of the Holy Spirit, makes the choice of this day particularly revealing about the state of their depraved souls. But I am sure the Catholics would welcome all of them into a confessional. Who wants to bet they aren't interested in that?
They have chosen to confuse the term 'Pentecost' with the term 'ACCOST' ...
I hope the priests refuse them communion, as they should. I know many have in the past.
So am I going to hear a good homily on why homosexual activity is bad????
Sounds like a good time...
I hope I don't see any of these queers in church.
i'll have to ask them why they still show up.
Seeking for forgiveness implies an acknowledgement of guilt. I see none of that here.
