Pope Says Civil Marriage And Christian Marriage No Longer The Same In U.S.
Breitbart.com ^ | September 27, 2015 | Dr. Thomas D. Williams,PH.D.

Posted on 09/27/2015 9:31:30 AM PDT by Biggirl

Pope Francis warns marriage has been stretched and distorted in the United States, to the point where it is no longer even similar to the Christian sacrament of matrimony. The pontiff noted the “unprecedented changes” taking place in contemporary society, “with their social, cultural – and sadly now juridical – effects on family bonds,” referring to the Supreme Course decision in June to legalize same-sex marriage for the entire nation in Obergefell v. Hodges.

Yeah, as a Catholic, I know he is ardently against abortion and gay marriage, but doesn’t say it when it would really count.

He is too much a naive leftist, especially when it comes to islam, the climate and the UN.

When you go through the pope's public statements during this visit to the U.S. and understand them in context with each other, you end up with a worldview that seems to be completely incoherent. On the one hand he has publicly criticized the developed nations of the world (primarily the U.S.) for any number of things, including our role in climate change, our secularism, our fixation of money and material things, our wanton disregard for the value of human life, etc.

Then he insists that we should be open to a massive flood of new immigrants. Why would he ever encourage people to migrate to a place like this?

More importantly ... Isn't there something wrong with a Catholic leader from a Latin American country encouraging people from historically Catholic countries in Latin America to migrate to a radically secular nation like ours?

Why do people who actually read the bible stay in this pagan church? Just brought up that way? Brainwashed?

When we got married we first had the Civil ceremony. Later we had the Church Wedding, whose date we celebrate as our anniversary.

The one holy catholic apostolic church is comprised of Jews and Gentiles (ie., heathen) who are made clean by the LORD Jesus Christ. Those who read and understand the Bible know this church was founded by the Messiah on Peter, as well as the other apostles and prophets in communion with Peter, with the Messiah being the chief cornerstone. This church has been visible and present for twenty centuries and has not been overcome by the gates of hell.

Which translation of the Bible do you read ? Which denomination or sect do you regularly assemble with ?
