I’ve been in many arguments with “Christians” who believe that you don’t have to be repentant to be redeemed, i.e. that practicing homosexuals who have no intention of stopping can be saved.

What about molestor priests? Have they also been told the same thing?

What about the gay sex drugs orgy near Vatican last week!

Must Repent and Change

Well, that's refreshing, coming from the US Roman Catholic hierarchy. Refreshing that they're actually acknowledging this behavior as a sin for one, but the real stunner is a Roman Catholic speaking of repentance and a change of heart, rather than the mechanical, physical penance. I guess repeating some words over and over, fingering beads and, heck, I don't know, donning a chicken suit and running around the courthouse square a hundred times isn't sufficient.

As I said, quite refreshing. There is hope.

Wow...I almost bugged out there...when my eyes first saw the title, I thought it said:

"...Anti Gays Must Repent and Change Lifestyle Before Receiving Communion..."

I just cannot stand this stuff anymore, the constant barrage of intrusion and indoctrination. I watched a movie last night, a stupid, animated KIDS movie called "Storks". I had no idea.

They showed a montage at the end of parents getting their new babies from the Storks, and they were very quick flashes on the screen, when I did a double take...backed it up frame by frame, and saw these two images just squeezed in there, so fast if you blinked, you would have missed them:

I couldn't believe it. A kids movie. A little kids movie. So I guess when I saw this thread, I felt a bit like the nail that sees everything as a hammer...

Anyway, nice to hear someone stand against it.

People need to stop identifying themselves by their sin, which is what homosexuals do.

They let it become their identity.

I have great compassion for Christians who struggle with that particular temptation but it is NOT who they are.

A Christian’s identity is in CHRIST, not their sin.

One glimmer of light to balance all the negative thoughts as I drive through Portland next week.

We have a great Archbishop in Portland, Oregon.

May God bless him abundantly.

This has always and everywhere been Catholic teaching. Sad that it should be controversial to state it.

[faucetman]

” active homosexuals “ HUH? Is there any other kind?

The homosexual acts are what DEFINES a homosexual. It isn’t DNA.

So if queers abstain from unnatural sex, they are cured?

Is that anything like celibate pedophile priests?

How is that working out?

[annalex]

The Archbishop said that there have been “misuses” of the Pope’s Exhortation “in support of positions that are not compatible with Church teaching.”

Among these is the notion that an individual’s conscience has, after Amoris Laetitia, become the final judge in moral matters.

Very good, Your Excellence. It is not just practicing gays we are in spiritual combat with.

Most won’t listen. Instead, they’ll probably start showing up more often to receive the Host ... even if they aren’t Catholic ... just to protest.

[gogeo]

BAM!
