“but the FACT is that the Catholic Church believes in allowing those who support, even openly, homosexuals to be included in her ranks, including priests.”

Can it be that you really don’t understand the difference between the Catholic Church holding a doctrine and sinful men who temporarily occupy offices within the Church defying her teachings?

Or would it be more to the point to reflect on the one whom Our Lord and Savior called “the father of lies?”

I think it would.

What’s the difference between an atheist and a satinist?
The satanist knows who his boss is.

Maybe that’s true of other people, too.

Can it be that you really don’t understand the difference between professions and practice revealing what one really believes? RCs are big on invoking James 2, even though it indicts them.

Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works . (James 2:18)

The Fact remains that Rome has treated even notorious public proabortion, prohomosexual RCs as members in life and in death (such as Teddy K., with no manifest repentance), and in so doing it interprets canon law, and overall reveals what it really believes, with relative few dissenters.
