I thought all Reuters employees were (mental) five-year-olds.

All liberalism can be neatly summed up with the phrase: "You poor, poor thing. Here, me help you."....its' like the Liberal Sen. Jim Wright ('Rat-TX) had said, "We..We...We only, want to help Youuuuu".....

I didn't know the Catholic Church had a "gay marriage ban," did you?

Of course not. There is no reason to "ban" something which is a logical impossibility. There is no such thing as "gay marriage", so one might as well "ban" unicorns.

The Mother Church has better things to do than to chase down the perverted chimeras of the decadent Western Left.

The Church’s opposition to anything the culture favors has always been referred to as a “ban.”

Reporters, in most cases, have no other word in their vocabulary. And anyone without faith is going to presume that the Church’s position would change, if the old men who run it as a racket would only see reason.

Thus, Pope Paul’s restatement of the Church’s teaching on contraception in 1968 was always referred to as “continuing the Church’s ban on contraception,” or “refusing to lift the Church’s ban on birth control.” The Church also refuses to lift its “bans” on marriage for priests, the ordination of women, abortion, and bank robbery.

A “ban,” of course, is often provisional, temporary, arbitrary, or even criminal, such as a ban on free speech, free assembly, publishing of newspapers or books. Habitually calling the Church’s opposition to anything a “ban” automatically calls the legitimacy and permanence of the “ban” into question.

Romans 1:25-27 tells us that same-sex sexual relationships are a consequence of idolatry. In other words, such relationships are a consequence of disobeying the 1ST COMMANDMENT, a major aspect of the GREATEST COMMANDMENT, to love the jealous God with all your being.

Homosexuals need to keep in mind, however, that the good news of the gospel is not about how God despises same-sex sexual relationships. In fact, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 indicates that certain members of that church had been slaves to such relationships but had been cleansed in Jesus' name. So these former homosexuals had evidently repented and accepted God's grace to straighten their lives out.

John 3:16
Revelation 3:20

The Catholic Church does not answer to the courts of California.

The dinosaur media is so clueless as to expect the Pope to comment on every event/idea that the libs hold sacred.
