Evangelicals, the last holdouts on gay marriage line

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Resistance and opposition to same-sex marriage has been crumbling among Americans — save for one specific segment of society that’s proving the last wall to even wider acceptance: Evangelicals.

This is not entirely unexpected. But it is uncomfortable. It puts those of most serious faith in a heated spotlight that can be used by the left to showcase the evangelical Christian crowd as discriminatory, as hate-filled, as antithetical to the core values of America.

Standing strong on this point is not only going to prove lonely.

It’s also going to prove a real test of faith — and conversely, a real opportunity to serve Jesus. Look at what’s been going on with the acceptance rate for same-sex unions in the United States, post-Obergefell v.

Can you tell me the name and location of the Catholic Church in question that has lesbians preaching and open homosexuals preaching.

So you have NO lesbians and homosexuals in the Catholic Church. NONE in leadership positions? No tacit hiding of the problem?

My point is that there is official doctrine and what we do.

Even in the Methodist church the official doctrine has not changed. But there are many wolves in sheep clothing.

I am glad to know there are no wolves in the Catholic Church and it is pure as the driven snow...............

The Methodist Church is in the process of deciding whether they want to ordain lesbians and homosexuals. This will never happen in the Catholic Church. On moral issues the Catholic Church will not deviate from the teachings of Christ. Yes there will be liberal popes now and then, and liberal priests, but there will be no change on the church’s position on homosexuality, and marriage and abortion. Or women clergy.
