Pandering to gays? Luke...what man leaves the 99 looking for the lost sheep.

They aren’t born that way = meaning, they can give it up, the sinning, and come back to the God that created them. Jesus wants them in heaven, choosing His Greater Glory.

That’s about it!

“Cardinal Dolan..I wrote him off as a sellout years ago. By all appearances, he’s more interested in being popular than saving souls.”

And God will use him all the same!

Spare me the Jesuit talking points.

The reason these militant homosexuals want into the church is to change the church to accommodate (and accept) their sinful lifestyle.

The welcoming posture of the Church does not extend to those who want to destroy it and rewrite the Ten Commandments and Scripture.

"Those duped by heresy will walk out, like the Traditionalists."

You are aware you don't fit in very well here?

Why not just find a Latin Mass parish right now? Best wishes to you and your wife.

It’s rather amazing that there’s such hoopla, discussion, court rulings, news items, and “celebration” based upon in which orifice you choose to put your sex-part into. (didn’t know if I could say the word.)

What an outdated description of the Catholic Church. Pomp, incense, and Gregorian chant have almost vanished.

...darn it...I wanted to be the first to post that...

You stick a bunch of dudes in a monastery with no chicks around, what do you think is going to happen?

...perhaps we should ask Gene Robinson that question...

...care to expound on exactly what heresy by which the trads have been duped...?

My sister-in-law is Catholic and a lesbian. She said that a priest told her that being a homosexual was not a sin. But committing homosexual acts was the sin. He told her that as long as she did not partake of the flesh she was without the sin.

I’m not Catholic so I can’t offer an educated opinion on it.

Exactly, my church has the same policy. All are welcome to come through the door and hear the Gospel. We will not change the message for them and we will require obedience and faithfulness to God and the scripture.
