Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

Maybe it's his giant rainbow flag that's obscuring the view. Last time I checked, homosexual propaganda is not included on the list of Catholic sacramentals.

Religion changes as society changes. Historians have observed this over the past thousand years.

I’ll assume that you are a well informed Catholic follower. So you must know all about the Holy Inquisition, and the numerous forms of violent and grotesque torture that the Catholic Church endorsed as fear tactics to prevent the practice of alternative religions and social values.

Where were Christ’s teachings while hundreds of thousands of “unbelievers” were being stretched, flayed, and tortured in a number of other ways?

Would you say that these practices were correct and in line with your moral values?

The point I am making is that in the grand scheme of things, I believe that love and acceptance of others is infinitely more virtuous than hate and discrimination.

I believe that Father Walter agrees with this sentiment, and perhaps the silent majority of Catholics do too!
