I must admit that, despite having been raised in a secular home and limiting my Jewish observance to attending services when I can, I do have one pretty strong theory about the Judeo-Christian faith: The rules come from God, and we follow them. It’s a one-way street. And while some rules are no longer observed (e.g., we don’t kill witches and, outside of Muslim countries, no one’s stoning homosexuals to death), we don’t get to go around telling God to do a complete U-turn on morals.
However, an article in The Nation, a hard-left publication, earnestly explains how queer Catholics are working very hard to reshape Catholic doctrine so that the Church embraces homosexuality, including same-sex marriage.
...
We no longer put people to death for homosexuality (nor should we), but let’s not pretend that God supports it. And indeed, in Romans, Paul was very clear that homosexuality is an offense against God. (Romans 1:26-27.)
...
With this in mind, while the modern Church no longer preaches hellfire and damnation or turns homosexuals over to the civil authority for capital punishment, at the very least, it should continue to say that homosexuality is antithetical to the faith. If you want to call yourself religious, you simply cannot do certain things that God has identified as major sins.
But for the members of New Ways Ministry (“NWM”), God is clearly wrong. Thus, writes The Nation, “Queer Catholics and their allies are reshaping the church from within by reclaiming values that are, as Francis DeBernardo of New Ways Ministry says, ‘at the heart of the gospel message.’” Ah, yes. This is the supersecret gospel message that says “Do whatever the heck you want because God is wrong and needs to be taught a lesson.”

A fine point she made: "This is Liberation Theology, a Soviet operation intended to destroy the Christian faith, writ large. And of course, a gazillion liberal Christian and Jewish denominations are dedicated to promoting homosexuality."
Yup.
Small point: those "liberal Christian and Jewish denominations" aren't actually scriptural, at this point. They are "committees" based entities, and the word "committee" in Russian is "soviet."
Alternatively, council or governing body, and additionally, synod is a synonym, making the recent Francine "synod on synodality" a soviet above soviets, so to speak.
This is how "liberals" operate. In committees, in councils, in synods, and in soviets. One then thinks back to Obama's claim to fame, like Alinsky's, of "community organizing." Sounded neutral, didn't it?
Well said.
When the Church caves on this abomination, they will well deserve the splintering that will come. No true Catholic will accept this rewrite. Those that do are tainted with sin in the eye of God.
I can’t believe acceptance of homosexuality is eve being contemplated.

"Honey who is that scary looking woman reading out the prayers of the faithful?"
"It's LaWhore Vagistan, and it's no woman."
Do you leave?
Personally, i think i wait out the service, not take the eucharist, and ask the preist afterwards if this is a big joke on the parishoners.
And laws such as the Respect for Marriage Act, which forces their agenda on us.
“Do you leave?”
With noticeable alacrity.☄

P.S.- I might also be tempted to stand up, point and yell “Anathema!”

That was my first thought as well. Then I thought, wait a minute, i got questions. Serious questions.
As I have a few friends who are ordained priests (and one a bishop) I would later call them and ask “what the hell was that!?”

From what I can see, there are certain(can’t say how many) Catholics who accept abortion. My Bible says that’s just as wrong as homosexuality. I believe there is ONE God, ONE truth & how many different ways do there seem to be about reading His word?

The original version had me thinking. It seemed pretty apt, too.

Yes. And my cousin vehemently defends his gay children by hating all the rest of humankind that say love the sinner hate the sin, that those that call homosexuality sin are the wrong ones, and my brother’s kids are also both proclaiming themselves gay, which I think is a crying shame, they are nice kids, but I wouldn’t wish that lifestyle on them and I don’t understand it. But yes, Judeo Christianity is against homosexuality.
I think you should get up and walk out. Openly. Publicly.
“..Do you leave?...”
Wouldn’t be the first time...probably won’t be the last, either.
On one particular ocassion, it was: “Run! Don’t walk..Run!!”
