yeah
no problem
oh wait
that pesky bible
If that survey is accurate, it would indicate that a majority of western catholics agree with Satan and will spend eternity with the damned.
Mine neither !
so obey your pope and worship amazonian idols and support gay marriage. It is not a democracy. Your leader has spoken
The report said 61% of Catholics support sin and evil of homosexuality. Well considering that only 40% of Catholics actually participate at all and maybe 25% actually go to daily or weekly mass, than that sounds accurate. I do not consider Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi as Catholics for supporting abortion and gays. Those 61% are not really Catholic at all in any way other than maybe they were baptized once, likely not confirmed and likely do not receive Communion or any of the other Sacraments.
Who am I to judge?
I was baptized as a Catholic and raised as such in very Catholic WNY.
They are VERY liberal there.
Big democrat supporters, even in spite of the abortion issue, because “democrats are for the poor”. And that is a quote.
This is what happens when biblical church discipline isn’t exercised.
Wording is important. For example, the 2019 Pew Survey mentioned in the article asked whether they favored allowing same-sex couples to marry legally. There’s probably a decent chunk of those people who see that as a different issue than whether they should be allowed to marry in the church or whether they actually “favor” same-sex marriage from a moral standpoint.
When I was coming up, yeah our church was pretty conservative. Alas, that is not the case, there days.
I was the beneficiary of coming from a “mixed” marriage. Catholic on one side and Lutheran on the other. That made for some interesting Sundays!
In line with people in general, I suppose?
Is this the survey that includes anyone to be Catholic if they identify as one?
The last survey like that I read like that had protestants athiests and others included (+30%) at such a high percentage that it was worthless.
That said there are a lot of Catholics who support same sex marriage. Like many clergy, they believe the propaganda of the media. Of course pushing against that tide is Christ himself. In the end they will have to chose who to believe.
The point I was trying to make is that if some insane person believes they are a tree, or an alien, or that they are “married” to someone of the same sex... it’s no skin off my back.
Render unto ceasar what is ceasars. We know what “marriage” truly means, and no government can declare otherwise.
Vast majority of western Catholics have never opened a bible.
