Queers, in the priesthood or out, prefer attacks to be done “with a friendly weapon” rather than a nasty, violent Gun! /snark
Yes...even if they participants are little boys.
T-hey ban it.... I keep it concealed. I think those two can coexist.

Calling all martyrs. See you Sunday at Mass. Maybe there will even be a Mass shooting to make your martyrdom all the more significant.
Looks like no nominally Christian group has a lock on stupidity.
What I was thinking. They are asking for trouble.
This is not a good idea .. does anybody remember the woman who was “concealed carrying” on a Sunday morning .. when a man tried to shoot up the church .. and she stopped it ..!!
It is P.C. short-sightedness and an invitation for a deranged psycho to “exorcise his demons” via violent, mass-murder.
But like it or not, it’s their “house” and their prerogative. I hope the good Lord doesn’t allow their exercise of free-will to result in a preventable tragedy.
Did they ban bombs?
Especially in Georgia. They do love their guns there, but then I do not think there is an extremely large number of practicing Catholics in that state.
All the illegals.
Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? Matthew 26:53
“When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. Luke 11:21

This is due to the new Georgia gun law that allows you to carry in church unless the church opts out. So the Catholic church is opting out.
Before the Catholic bashers get up a head of steam let me point out that before the new GA gun law went into effect it was not legal to carry in church or restaurants and bars. So the Catholic church is just carrying on as usual. As a Catholic and in fairness I believe a number of protestant churches are also opting out.
Excellent quote. I am trying to think where that appears in the Catholic rotation of the liturgy.
In the Tucson area, there is a church that has a sign that declares it is a gun=free zone. It makes me nervous to go there ( I rotate around the diocese) but I liked attending weekday Mass when Father Richard (now retired) was the celebrant.
I am reading Game of Thrones, and one character, the guardian of the Prince of Dorne carries around an axe. Do you think anyone would mind if I brought my camping tools with me?

The "co-exist"y juxtaposition of symbols is telling.
It's local, in a somewhat "iffy" neighborhood.
There I was, 8 feet away, with something just behind my right hip that would make them fill their episcopal drawers.
“What is their policy on homosexual priests”
Formally banned since 1962, but always assumed by the orthodox to be banned before that too.
“and homosexual marriage?”
Always banned. No such thing as homosexual marriage.
