A research project by an international Catholic think tank, to be launched today by Mary McAleese, is to challenge the theological evidence for church teaching that homosexual acts are "intrinsically disorder". Plans for the study by Wijngaards Institute for Catholic Research will be unveiled at Trinity College by McAleese, a former president and an outspoken critic of the Vatican. The institute will call on Pope Francis to question official church teaching on same-sex relationships. "I am hoping the project will advance an intelligent and scholarly debate about the warped, damaging, unchristian, unscientific, fake gender ideology which currently underpins Catholic teaching on LGBTI issues," McAleese told the Sunday Times.

A spokeswoman for the Institute said that tomorrow's event would address "the exclusion of gay and lesbian families from the World Meeting of Families" which it argues furthers the church's "marginalisation and demonization and" of LGBT Catholics and their relationships. The launch takes place a day before the World Meeting of Families opens in Dublin's RDS. The week culminates in a visit by Pope Francis. On Sunday, he will say mass for up to 500,00 people in the Phoenix park. The Wijngaards research will provide a critical evaluation of the arguments behind official Catholic teaching which dates from 1986 Vatican document Homosexualitatis Problema, according to Luca Badini Confalonieri, director of research at the Institute.

"Since [then], however, biology and genetics have made some progress towards understanding the causes of homosexuality. The same can be said of biblical studies, on what the Bible affirms with regard to the meanings purposes of human sexuality and sexual diversity," writes Confalonari in a preliminary paper on the research . "The question of homosexual acts is sometimes regarded as settled from the earliest days of Christianity...A process of debate and consultation would be tantamount to putting this in doubt and so, no such process has been initiated or encouraged by the Vatican. The reports aims at filling that gap." Confalonieri said the argument in the Vatican document that homosexual acts were "intrinsically disordered" was based on a belief that biological procreation was an "essential and indispensable finality" of each act of sexual intercourse. This was based on a "mistaken biological "fact" that each and every act of sexual intercourse has a procreative "finality" and "significance".

"The teaching that same-sex sexual acts are "intrinsically evil" always and everywhere is not reevealed in the Bible," he said. "Nor has it ever been shown to be essential for the truth of the Christian revelation. Accordingly, it cannot become the object of an infallible definition.

That almost became the case until a certain DJT got elected President.

Even they put the Bible aside, the practice is still sickening, disgusting, and perverted.

Scratch a Confalonari and you will find an alter boy molester...

Interesting, especially in light of the recent focus on the thousands of children sexually violated by priests. Most were boys and all the perpetrators of the boys were homosexual clergy - priests.

The elephant in the room is that the homosexual community had infested the RC clergy. But our modern society is protecting the queer lifestyle.

I want you all now watch carefully, starting with this article,there will be a full court press:

making the homosexual pedophiles the victims.

Such idiots seeking to justify homosexuality in Christendom probably don’t even believe the most fundamental doctrines of Christ to begin with - any of them.

There are many atheist “Christians” in these leftist groups.

In his own slimy, perverted way, that jerk was able to help institute some of his most evil, destructive, satanic goals to harm America, and that is a horrible shame.

(And since that work of his is done, maybe now he can get a new job next to that other fruity cheerleader in the NFL - National Fruity League.)

[Songcraft]

If he does that, the National Fruity League may lose the remainder of their crowd in the stands (shown below).

Your picture does not include the aftermath of the entire crowd fleeing for the exits in a panicked orgy of projectile vomit.

No. Not until it starts raining sulphur. That's how dedicated they are.



Luke 17:28-30 King James Version

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

[SaveFerris]

I’m surprised they didn’t give the poofter pom-poms. They might as well have.

I don’t know what it’s going to take for the last few fans to walk away from the NFL. But then, I STILL see idiots cheering Obama on.

Thank you

[SaveFerris]

At your service.

We are definitely in the Days of Lot.
