A most excellent post. Rome has gone down a path that is very difficult to back away from. They just keep digging themselves a deeper hole.
But at least Rome is officially against homosexuality, though a substantial problem seems to exist in its priesthood, and i do not think the mandated (w/ rare exceptions) celibacy helps.
However, the spiritual decline is also overall seen across the board in all "Christian" faiths, and thus the stand against essential departures from the salvific gospel must also be against the growing accommodation of the world in our own ranks, and even our own selves .
Is Christ the king of my heart at all times? Is my affection supremely on him as it should; do i always want to do all to His glory; does all that is within me cry glory, which is a longing cry, but not often enough. Do contrary things often rise up instead? Sadly no to the first and yes to the second.
"For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? " (1 Peter 4:17)
"Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord. " (Lamentations 3:40) - which once was seen. http://www.jedwinorr.com/video.htm
