People are leaving, guys.

Lifelong Catholics.

Leaving.

Going Christian Orthodox some of them.

Goodbye, now.

Perfect picture of where the church hierarchy is these days.

"Holleran claimed that “gay” men are more receptive to spirituality because they practice anal sex"

A perverted mind perverts everything.

Maybe this genius can enlighten Jesus, the Almighty Son of God, when he stands before Him on Judgment Day. The Bible says that God is the same, yesterday, today and forever, and He declares homosexuality a vile sin in Romans 1:26,27.

See what can happen when the empty mind of the Eastern religions is adopted? It can get filled with fantasy from evil spirits.

Homosexual orientations are objective disorders. God does not gift disorder, but may allow it.

The disorder is an enormous challenge, which is imposed on frail human beings without their consent most often. The challenge is not to engage in disordered àcts so that it is not “fixed” in ones’ being.

Pray for these tortured souls.

“God does not despise anything that God has created.”

So we Christians based on this interpretation and the above article’s viewpoint is that we should be accepting, enmbrace and love pedophiles as well.

Pedophiles, LGBT people have infiltrated the Christian churches to peddle their interpretation of God’s words.

Rome is a mess.

Western civilization is a mess.

I don’t understand it just as I don’t understand most evil in the world. I haven’t understood the Catholic Church for decades and with the rate members are leaving, there is lots of not understanding them. In no way do I understand the false pope.

Years ago I heard the definition of a zealot as someone who does what God would do if God had all the facts.

Jesus didn’t understand homosexuality? And I’m sure someone could explain it to him, or just do what Jesus would do if were Jesus more informed on the matter.

Right.

Jesus had all of this other gnarly stuff going on...like saving the human race from Evil...but he couldn’t understand that particular sexual perversion.

Right.

What’s to understand? God called it an abomination.

Hmmm... what sort of smoke is this?

As far as characters in our story go, reality is easily as strange as or stranger than fiction these days.

Speaking of, as I was reading about him and his church, I couldn’t stop thinking about Father Gil in the Sin City episode of Supernatural.

Tell you what, I’d stay out of his basement if he has one. Just sayin’...

And the Roman church continues to let known homosexuals be priests and administer sacraments all the while claiming they condemn homosexuality.

What hypocrisy!

"The Catholic Church is an institution I am bound to hold divine — but for unbelievers a proof of its divinity might be found in the fact that no merely human institution conducted with such knavish imbecility would have lasted a fortnight."

Sadly, this applies today even more than in Belloc's time.

It’s like the clay piss pot telling the potter, “You don’t know much about pottery.”
