The worst of all scenarios. Better to keep quiet and say nothing than to make dogmatic statements and then apologize for them when the heat goes on. The latter simply emboldens the speech police and strengthens their belief that with sufficient menaces, all resistance can be overcome.

So he could be charged with a crime? Oh nice. I wonder how long before that is happening here. I will predict it will start within a year.

Everyone wants to get upset over gay marriage or homosexuality in general but we need to keep our eye on the ball.

This brouhaha over homosexuality in our society for the last 40 years is a back door way to control religion and speech contrary to the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. It is a pathway to tyranny.

I defend freedom when it is under attack without reference to taking sides about religion or sexuality.

The Bishop should take a quick look at Isaiah 5:20

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; and ... that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! ...

Do you not think someone higher up ordered him to apologize, prior to the upcoming Synod??

Could this be another example of false obedience?

Maybe he could just back off a little bit and just call it “total depravity of the human soul.”

I would say the Swiss bishop should start reading the 100 or so questions from God that he puts to Job starting in Job 38....The objective? To demonstrate that we are just puny mankind and he is God and he sets the rules for His universe.....

1. Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.......

Unless something has changed, haven’t the U.S. Bishops edited the end of Romans 1 where homosexual acts are covered out of the three year cycle of Mass readings during which the entire Bible is covered (read aloud)?

I’m sorry that you claim to be a bishop of the Holy Catholic Church.
