**the Catholic Church will cave on homosexuality**
The Catholic Church IS the ONLY church which has not caved on this issue.
All other churches not entertain pedophiles under the disguise of homosexuals.
In addition:
The Catholic Church IS the ONLY church which has not caved on this issue.
Nor will it.
And that is an out and out falsehood. My church hasn't...and we are prepared to be jailed and persecuted to maintain that belief. Are there some members of my denomination who support it? Sure are....just like there are a LOT of Catholics who do...and who voted for BHO BECAUSE of it.
Meanwhile, Pope Francis said: "the issue of gay marriage should be studied and not dismissed out-of-hand." - WRONG. It SHOULD BE.
It's coming...and you better be ready to swallow it.

So...no matter what our particular denominations particular stances are, looks like we both have congregations that want to do their own thing.
The official southern baptist stance is against gay marriage and homosexuality...but I am positive there are people who have strayed in their thinking. The RCC position is similar to the SBC...yet there are people off the reservation. The difference between the two of us is you guys are supposed to have a mechanism to keep people in line. We are independent churches and don't.
I really have always been puzzled as to how this happens in the Catholic church. I seriously don't know the answer to that question. If the Pope is the leader...and there is a hierarchy...how can the Baltimore Archdiocese do this without any fear of reprisal from the church?
If we had a baptist church who did this, we'd break fellowship with them. It's happened. How do you guys handle it?
