[Antoninus]

It about time that the Catholic Church has come to that decision. Many Protestant churches have acknowledged this fact for years.

Actually, the Catholic Church has ALWAYS had that point of view, even if many of its bishops openly disregarded it. The sad fact is that increasing numbers of protestant sects are now publicly tolerating homosexual relations as the moral equivalent of marriage--and ordaining openly gay ministers.

You are correct in the points that you make. It is indeed sad that some protestant churches have come to accept homosexually. This is not true of the church with which I am affeliated and never will be. I commend the Catholics for their stand.
