Sorry...The church has no right to judge...and make up rules for today’s society. Billions of people have taken communion with sin on their souls.

Even UNREPENTANT ones?

“The church has no right to judge...and make up rules for today’s society.”

Absolute nonsense.

You should brush up on the difference between venal sins and mortal sins. No one presents themselves for communion in a sinless state, but if you take communion in a state of unrepented mortal sin, you are spitting in God’s face (not a good idea).

Todays’ society is depraved, and the Church needs to publicly draw clear lines of morality more than ever. Let me refer you to one of the spiritual works of mercy laid out by the Catholic Church: Admonish the Sinner.

If you truly love someone, you try to pull them back to the narrow path of righteousness for the sake of their immortal soul.

The church has no right to judge . . .

LOL, like if the government can't do that, nobody can.

Abortion is not just a sin among sins, it is THE sin.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but billions of wrongs do? Is that what you're trying to say?

The church has no right to judge...and make up rules for today’s society.

In that case, we might as well just close up shop. There's no point in preaching redemption if we're not allowed to call anything "sin"; we're selling something nobody needs.

Are you saying that you don’t believe the Ten Commandments — one of which is “Thou shalt not kill.”??
