The pastor at one of my favorite non-denominational churches set up his church to be as Christ-like as possible, which includes welcoming everyone, including homos. And even though I disagree with homos, I do agree with both the pastor and Jesus himself that we must welcome everyone who genuinely seeks Jesus, no matter how sinful he or she is.

Even with all that, the pastor and the church emphatically declares that marriage is between one man and one woman. They also emphatically declare that all will bow before Jesus, no matter who you are or what you’ve done. Those right there are what makes this church one of my favorites.

"Lots of people identify as catholics, but are not even confirmed."

My sister sings in a Catholic choir and teaches at a Catholic school, but told me she hasn't been to confession for at least 25 years.

“Cultural Catholics,” not believing Catholics.

No Mass attending Catholic that abides by the tenants of the faith approves of homosexual “marriage.” These dumbass polls never ask who actually follows the faith. They lump every so-called Catholic together, which makes the poll bogus.

Same poll number when it lost at the ballot box 60-30. Who is going to answer no when they know they could be targeted.

Do I support same-sex marriage? No...not really. Do I oppose same-sex marriage? No...not really. I really don’t care, and I expect most other people don’t either. Americans have always been “live and let live” types.

The Devil’s greatest success has been to convince people that he doesn’t exist.

Zero sermons. Good point - explains the results presented in this article, if not faked. But how often are the scourges of abortion and divorce mentioned? Maybe once every 3-5 years.

— Attends Mass every single week

(Both “traditional” and “liberal” homilists, because the main thing is that God is there in the Eucharist.)

Just read something similar at CBN news.

Why Younger Christians are Favoring Same-Sex Marriage

http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2017/june/why-younger-christians-are-favoring-same-sex-marriage

By Cailtin Burke 6/29/17

snipped

‘”Many contemporary interpreters of the Bible hold to a view of marriage — that it is simply about love between any two people, regardless of their sex,” [Dr. Hill] said.’

‘”What I mean is that many Christians have rejected the idea that marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman that is about showing God’s love to the world and bringing children into the world. Once you’ve thrown out that understanding, then the door is open to embrace same-sex marriage,” Dr. Hill told CBN News.’

End.

IMHO there is no commitment. There is just me, me, me, me, me. I should know, I failed miserably.

Satan wants everyone with him in the end and if the Bible isn’t taken as a whole, many who do know the truth and are not sharing that truth are going to be responsible in the end, too. Get people to know that God belongs on that throne of your life. Nothing and no one else. That is why He is called LORD.
