” You obviously haven’t been paying attention to what the Catholic Church, via their authority, has said about homosexuality. “
And what “authority” is that?
The very word reminds me of the pharisees - and what Jesus had to say about them.
I’m a recovered Catholic - finally got old enough to realize they praised way too much in the earthly realm and claimed that these mortal, faulted men were critical to everyone else’s salvation....being excommunicated from our parish for not raising the amount in the envelopes helped...along with watching the priest, who was right next door to us, wobble around drunk.
Pretty clothes and glitzy pomp doesn’t salvation make...
I feel very sorry for you. What Jesus instituted, His Church, the Sacraments and the priesthood HAD to be good because they came from JESUS.
And all you see is the bad. I guess the half-filled/empty glass is ALWAYS half EMPTY for you.
Since Jesus had to use humans to continue His Work, sins had to happen since WE ARE ALL SINNERS. You seem to expect more of priests...I guess they're not allowed to be sinners.
-- God created Lucifer KNOWING that Lucifer would betray Him and become Satan. Yet God DID create Lucifer.
-- Jesus chose Judas Iscariot as one of His Apostles. Jesus KNEW that Judas would betray Him yet Jesus STILL chose him.
And you are "recovered" from receiving the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus, our food and drink for our journey to our Heavenly Father. How abysmally sad for you. You don't sound full of joy...which you should be now that you are "recovered."
You sound very bitter and angry. That must make for long and dreary days.
