Buttigieg Takes Aim at Faith of Trump Administration, Social Conservatives
Catholic News Agency ^ | 4/8/19 | Christine Rouselle

Washington D.C., Apr 8, 2019 / 04:00 pm (CNA).- Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg has criticized Vice President Mike Pence for his views on gay marriage, saying that his civil marriage to his same-sex partner has led him closer to God.

Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, contracted a civil marriage with his partner Chasten, in a June 2018 Episcopalian ceremony.

Before he became vice president, Pence was Indiana’s governor from 2013 until 2017. In that office, he supported an attempt to amend the state constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman, and signed the 2015 Religious Freedom Restoration Act into law. The act was criticized by gay rights activists as permitting discrimination by religious organizations.

“My marriage to Chasten has made me a better man,” said Buttigieg, speaking April 7 at a fundraiser for the Victory Fund, an organization dedicated to electing homosexual political candidates.

“And yes, Mr. Vice President, it has moved me closer to God.”

Buttigieg said that he wishes “the Mike Pences of the world would understand” that he was born gay and that he cannot change this. “Your problem is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator,” Buttigieg said.

Both Pence and Buttigieg are baptized Catholics, but neither attends Mass. Buttigieg describes himself as a devout Episcopalian. Pence attends an evangelical church and has described himself as an “evangelical Catholic.”

I have sometimes wondered how a homosexual justifies, in his heart, his predilections when he sees a female or a baby. So now, we know that Mayor Buttwhatever tries to soar above it all by cloaking his deviancy in religious and divine sentiments.

That is just plain sick. It is also known, Biblically, as deceiving your own heart.

Most of Scripture is about the need for Christians to lead a morally pure life.

Jesus said a man and a woman are to marry, not this perversion, so Buttplug did not get closer to the deity.

Mocking God is hardly a way to come closer to him!

“....the Mike Pences of the world would understand” that he was born gay and that he cannot change this”

Enough already... who the hell wants to hear about this prick’s gaiety any more? He’s just trying to leverage his fruitness for primary votes.

Buttfudge is a heretic and blasphemer. If he accepts Jesus as his LORD and Savior, does he go to Heaven?

Yes.

But only if has truly accepted Christ as his savior which means he would have repented from his sin. So far he obviously has not.

Saint Peter is real quick to judge every other Christian to condemn the way they believe. He may want to read Romans and explain what it says.

God made all people, and all people have the desire to sin.

He also made us smart enough to distinguish between what we feel like doing and what God wants us to do.

The DNC will never let this guy get the nomination. They can talk all the want about inclusion and sexual freedom, but if the Democrats ever nominated Mayor Pete I think a good twenty to thirty percent of their voters will not vote for him next year.

Peter Paul ButtBoy prays at the altar of Reggie Love, Eric Swallow Well and the Towel Boy from Nairobi. Not to mention Frankie the Pedo from Buenos Aires. For crying out loud, they’re everywhere. Not good, not good at all.

So his sodomite lifestyle “Moved him closer to God”??
= = =

Maybe God got a little closer to him, to smite or to convince.

And he has the wrong perspective.

I guess then he approves of what the Priests do to alter boys. After all they were born to be child molesters right?.
