>> the church calls Sinners to Repentance
Perhaps this particular church wasn’t calling very clearly. And these sinners consider themselves innocent, and their sin merely a different form of love. One supporter writes that “I am not Gay, but I know Jesus welcomes all into His fold.” (That would be the same Jesus who trashed a temple because of the vendors infesting it.)
Another writes, “Well, I thought, any gay male has to feel welcome in a church with a mirrored ball hanging from the ceiling.”
Another: “At Saint Joan of Arc we are proud of the large number of GLBT members we have...”
Ad nauseam: “We are all children of God. In God there are no outcasts.”

As a Catholic, I must say this is not my understanding of things. Outcasts there certainly are, for example those who persist in certain grave sins, not to mention those who call it virtue.
Incidentally, this mantra of all-God’s-children is the same that excuses those who violate immigration law. The message is becoming so blatant, one almost expects to read it on the side of a bus: Tolerate Evil!
The world is being morally disabled by such “God’s children.”
Thanks for that clarification — I had missed all of that.

As a Catholic-in-training, I still have alot to learn.
