Pope Francis and Gays: “Loving the Sinner” Is Still Intolerance (Thanks for clarifying that, Time)

Time ^ | July 30, 2013 | Tim Padgett

[Mrs. Don-o]

Thanks for clarifying that, Time Magazine.

I mean, the article is full of errors, but it makes its main point: the Catholic Church teaches that homosexual sex is an "intrinsic moral evil," and is opposed to it, under any conditions, for anybody.

Now and forever, Amen.

[Uncle Miltie]

Gay marriage has been primarily about forcing people to APPROVE of homosexual acts, and secondarily about healthcare benefits.

[oldbrowser]

given our awareness today that homosexuality is as biological as heterosexuality,

I didn't get that memo.

[a fool in paradise]

Time-Lies-Warner-Turner Media has insisted God has been dead since the 1960s. Pretty intolerant of them.

[Uncle Miltie]

[Uncle Miltie]

Funny, but G-d is fine. TIME is dead.

[Dr. Sivana]

can we take any religious leader seriously when he claims to love gay people but at the same time demonizes the consummation of their love for each other?

There's a bit of a biological, social and spiritual difference between, "I love you, let's do something ordered towards making a baby" and "I love you, let's do something ordered toward [. . .]"

RE: : “Loving the Sinner” Is Still Intolerance

Well, at least TIME is open about their agenda -— JUST ACCEPT THE SIN and CELEBRATE IT.

But then, if you accept the sin, what the heck is there to tolerate?

You only tolerate something you disagree with...

Which in essence means the word “tolerate” has lost its meaning.

I happen to think that homosexuality is 80% physiological, but so what? Just because a tendency may originate in biology doesn't mean it is moral to act out that tendency. I think orthodox Christians may have differing opinions about why people are homosexual; what said Christians should agree on is that sex is for marriage and that marriage means a man and a woman.

P.S. Not disagreeing with you — just neutralizing the Time writer's argument.

THIS COVER CAME AFTER THAT COVER...

[Viennacon]

Suck a joke of an article from a naive closet homo.

“given our awareness today that homosexuality is as biological as heterosexuality, and that homosexual relationships have proven as valid and socially enriching as straight ones”

As biological, even though it has been proven to not be genetic, and is a biological dead end?

As valid, even though it serves zero purpose?

As socially enriching, even though it has correlation with several mental disorders, ends one’s genetic line, increases the chances of contracting potentially lethal diseases, and is pretty much rejected by over 85% of the world as disgusting?

Yeah, great article, doofus.

“How, for example, can the Catholic church declare homosexuals “disordered” and their lifestyle an “intrinsic moral evil,” yet expect us to applaud its “love” for gays somewhere beneath all that homophobic bigotry? “

It’s a Christian, thing, Time - you wouldn’t understand.

[Dr. Sivana]

I think at the time of publication, the general idea may have been that the Beatles replaced him (”Eighty million screaming teen girls can’t be wrong”). In under five years, they disbanded, at the hands of Yoko Ono? Is she God? Or maybe she’s the devil. By her fruits you shall know her.

At the end of their days, a lot of people are going to be shocked to learn there is a God, He does have standards and His Son offered each of us an amazing salvation for the willing.

Breaking: the Pope is Catholic.

I stopped reading there ... then read again to the end of the paragraph .. and stopped .....period.

I have a pretty good imagination and honest ... at a great risk (by this confession here in FR), I confess I've attempted to imagine me with another man .. and by GOD ... that's some sick stuff.

The Bible condemns men with men .. AND women with women .. in more places than one, both Old and New Testament

It ain't supposed to be ... period.

[MHGinTN]

The devils trying to degenerate the planet will be quite surprised when they find out that God is intolerant ... maybe that’s what fuels their anarchy and treachery!

[MrB]

Can’t wait to leave it to them for about 7 years...

[SampleMan]

Loving the sinner is tolerance, what it isn’t is acceptance.

[Dr. Sivana]

As socially enriching, even though it has correlation with several mental disorders, ends one’s genetic line, increases the chances of contracting potentially lethal diseases,

Oh yeah? Well, that's just because of "homophobia".

Oddly enough, miscegenation, which was in some ways more harshly looked down upon in some quarters, never caused any of those problems, regardless of social antipathy against it.
