mm:In the churches I've attended and been a member of, he'd be out the door

AB:And yet, he is not.

Well DUH!!!!! It's not a church I've ever attended where he's a pastor. I've never been to SF and don't plan to go anytime ever. However, I did attend a Catholic church for most of my growing up years and the Catholic church IS the one which INVITED him to lead at the Nov 30 service. And I AM out of there.

mm: What does the Catholic church ...

AB: This pervert, again, is protestant ... and should serve as a reminder to protestants of the unwisdom of throwing stones while living in glass houses.

Read the article. That pervert was INVITED BY THE CATHOLIC PARISH TO LEAD IN ONE OF IT'S SERVICES.

What's up with that?

Is there something in Scripture that is unclear about not associating with someone who is immoral who calls himself a brother that Catholics don't get?

Is there a problem with the interpretation of that?

1 Corinthians 5:9-11 9I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one.

Where does this Catholic parish get off INVITING him to lead one of their services?

So what are Catholics doing with participating in communion with Catholic priests who are gay and who molest children? They haven't been defrocked, but rather are protected and excused and permitted to continue with their priestly duties in administering sacraments.

What an abomination and affront to Christ. Might as well just spit in His face and pound the nails in themselves.

And then Catholics have the chutzpah to preach at others about immorality?

Can you say *hypocrisy*?

Fascinating. You rail against the Catholic church which invites him as a guest, but barely utter a word against the protestant church of which he is both a member and a minister.

What's up with that?

See #1509, in which I express my thoroughly negative opinion of this whole business.

Hypocrisy? Somehow the word rhymes with “Legion of Christ”, doesn’t it?

The article shows the consequences of what the Sola Scriptura virus has done inside the Catholic Church in America over the past 40 years.

A lot of so-called Catholics have become Protestant in all but name.

At least the Protestants had the conviction to leave. The average poorly catechized Roman Catholic is either Protestant in orientation or they ignorantly follow pious fables that have no basis in Catholic doctrine.
