Here’s a guy who loves the Church, all right....
Marriage is between a man and a woman as prescribed by God. The Sacrament of Marriage is not what this person (in the article) is saying it is.
A gay choir director, now there’s something you don’t see every day. /s
Its getting harder and harder to believe the Catholic Church is really about worshipping God anymore.
Months ago it was a homosexual couples wedding cake forced to be baked by Christian business owners again their conscience. Some said “So what it’s just a cake”. Today a church is being sued for firing an open and “Practicing” homosexual. Tomorrow they will gain control of the Pulpit. The war of homosexuality against Christianity is not a passive one. Passiveness of Christian churches toward homosexuality is in their eyes acceptance. There can be no acceptance of this.
Colin Collette filed suit against the parish on Thursday, arguing that since the state recognizes gay marriages the church should too.
Seriously, what did he expect?
Since when does a cardinal meet with a parish choir director over a firing dispute? In the current vernacular, it “sends a message” of legitimacy to the queer’s cause.
Wrong move, IMHO.
If this case is even allowed to move forward the religious freedom is dead in this country.
Now is as good a time as any to watch Paul Scofield in A Man for All Seasons.
In today’s Whiny Gay News.
“Colin Collette filed suit against the parish on Thursday, arguing that since the state recognizes gay marriages the church should too.”
I believe God loves everyone. This man’s remarks, however reminded me immediately of the “King’s Great Matter” during the reign of Henry VIII which sent St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher, among others, to their death.
I love my country. But its government once allowed slavery and now allows abortion. Just because the government allows it, does not mean it is morally right.
The Catholic Church expects each of its members to practice chastity according to one’s state in life. The man in question would not be condemned for his attraction to other men, nor excommunicated for it. Acting on that attraction is another matter.
Marriage in the Catholic Church is a Sacrament. Civil marriage is not recognized as legitimate in the eyes of the Church, as is any sexual activity, alone or with another, outside of the Sacrament of marriage.
Per Scripture, divorce is not allowed; homosexual acts are forbidden; masturbation is forbidden, whether one is single or married.
Our society believes in sexual freedom. It pretty much obsesses about it. Scripture is Truth and the Truth does not change. Thus the Catholic Church is falsely labeled as a group of haters who are behind the times. And once again, state is interfering with church.
Just an aside: before More was executed, he stated, “I die the King’s good servant, but God’s first.” May God bless America and turn our great nation back to Him!
Gee, hasn’t this guy ever heard of the much vaunted separation of Church and state? You can’t have it both ways, buddy.
