Not Catholic so I'm not sure but I believe the Church distinguishes between being something and acting. Homosexuals can be priests as long as they don't practice their perversion.
"respectful"? You obviously are under the influence of narcotics or alcohol to make a statement like that. Your posts confirm that you are a liar. You've admitted to being married and divorced, what, five times, maybe more. How about telling us what Christ said about divorce. Having you comment on anything moral is like having Clinton wax poetic on the Constitution or the rule of law.
1. Protestants don't claim to be Celibant.
2. Show me where I said the statement by Jesus was a Commandment.
3. Be careful who you call ignorant. This sometimes shows the true ignorance.
4. This was not an attack on religion it was a wakeup call.
5. You can ignore it like you have in the past and nothing will change.
6. You can do what you suggest I do and take the Log out of your Eye.
7. You can stop attacking all the others and straighten your own house out.
8. Sin is sin is sin no matter who's house it visits. Turning the other cheek to sin is also a sin.
9. You can stop wasting the majority of your time linking everyone to your multitude of defensive scriptures and start listening.
Last but, not least, I learn the Bible, I do not teach it. Find the Statement on marriage by Jesus yourself. You could use the practice. Hint: It's in the New Testament. NOT THE OLD!
On another thread I was told I couldn't even have an opinion in relation to the Word of God says just because I wasn't the Pope or a Priest... Unbelievable...
I felt they had an issue though about who is more right... The Pope, a priest, or the Word of God...
Hey, pot. This is the kettle. Check your color.
Not very well. Read Matthew 19:12, 27-29.
Is it any surprise, to any one, that a religion who boasts its sanctimonius celibacy is failing miserably.
"Celibacy has failed from its inception".
Care to provide the proof for those claims.
1. Protestants don't claim to be Celibant.(sic)
Unmarried Protestants are supposed to be celibate. Perhaps that's another part of the Bible you haven't learned.
How so?
With all due respect, your Analysis leads you to Paralysis. Think for yourself without havng to have an absolute number in front of you. I'll bet you are a LOT of fun!! :)
Wouldn't you like to know ;-)

All I am saying is that it's one thing to say America is sinful and needs to repent. It's another to say America is the most sinful nation in the western hemisphere. That's a factual claim. With all due respect, the Monsigner ( I apologize for the improper Mr. before)should back it up with facts--statistics--or try to refrain from presenting conjecture as fact. Maybe it's OK with you, but I don't take kindly to people making unsubstatiated attacks on the character of America. If the Monsigner is going to say to the world that we are more sinful than, say, Colombia, or Brazil, let him tell us how he knows, so we can all measure the reliability of his information.
And yeah, I'm loads of fun :-P
