[MarkBsnr]

No church can make righteous what God has already declared an abomination. Now the RCC should publicly and officially excommunicate Pelosi and all other RCs who support baby killing or homosexuality. Don’t give me the “they excommunicated themselves” line, they cannot baptize themselves into the church and they cannot excommunicate themselves either.

No argument here. I have stood face to face with the bishop of my diocese and called him out in public. The history of the Church shows that it moves slowly. Never enough to satisfy you or me.

I'll bet anything that 20 years from now, we'll have an entirely different perspective. Look how long it took to canonize Scripture, for instance, or to formally declare just what the Trinity means.

I agree with you 100%. However, I DO applaud the Catholic Church's slowness. It works for me, now that I am old and my brain has cleared up a bit from its fog of the early years of life. I think that the deliberation is one of the strong "selling" points for the Church. Nothing happens without a whole lot of deliberation, prayer and consultations. The bishops of the world have to be consulted when anything of doctrine and morals come up in the way of change.

I think that the unity of the Church is what Jesus wanted. I think division only weakens all of us Christians. There ARE divisions in Islam but darn few (less that five, I believe).

My prayers for this priest. He's taken a lot of heat. He knows he's right. I know he's right. God bless him.
