"It's all part of the grand tradition of private interpretation of Scripture. "I listen to no man, only to my God."

Naah, that has nothing to do with it. It is part of the itching ears syndrome. The "magisterium" gets it just as wrong as the poofters.

Perhaps you have little experience with the so-called Gay Christian movement. They're quite convinced that they are the true Christians and that "the Bible tells them so".

Yeah, follow those links and read along. If you're like me, you'll be amazed and appalled.

Every church is full of sinners, and mine (Catholic) is no exception. For real. But the Magisterium has never approved gay sex relations, nor the dissolubility of a Sacramental marriage, nor contraception, nor abortion, and never will. Not in a million years. And frankly, there are not many churches which could say that.

All that comes down to is this: we sin, but when we sin we know darn well we're in the wrong.
