We are so blessed to be traditional Catholics and to believe in the complete Holy Bible. We have read where God calls homosexual sex an abomination and who destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.

Why the self-congratulations when the graphs show that almost half of the traditional Catholics accept homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle? Didn't the author notice that most of the Protestant denominations scored much better, the exceptions being the so-called mainstream denominations which most of us have written off as apostate? The graphs show that the traditional Catholics have some work to do in their own house.

The Martin Luther introduction is just lame. Perversion of God's Word is consistently noted throughout both Old and New Testament and hardly originated with Martin Luther. I have no doubt that if Martin Luther were alive today he would be speaking out against homosexuality in far louder voice than any Catholic spokesman has.

You noticed that too?

Maybe: perhaps not. Luther's very clear anti-Semitism was not an issue until, instead of joining up with him, they stuck with their own Faith. Prior to that, he was rather solicitous to the Jews.

I am not equating Judaism with homosexuality: rather, I am pointing out that Luther's tolerance of the Jews went as far as their agreement with him against the Church, and the possibility of their joining with him.

Was Luther Anti-Semitic?

Luke 18:9-14 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’

But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
