You caught that too, eh? These people are SO CONFUSED aren't they? If they would step out of the "in your face" attitude and read scriptures, they might actually see that they are wrong.

I think God would want me to be proud of who(sic) she created me to be."

Pride is one of the seven deadly sins!

As for the she,I'm with Doughboy...

Well: I think thats what I said. But since the men who marry the women taking birth control are equally guilty , what you and I are actually saying is that about 85% of American Catholics between the ages of 25 and 50 are not actually receiving Communion whether they go or not.

Only if he also stops guitar playing and drums.

The sashes are worn as a symbol of celebration of God-given sexuality, according to Brian McNeill, an organizer of the alliance, who lives in Minneapolis. He said the sashes also represent an invitation to the church to open dialogue on the issue of human sexuality.

Everything these people need to know about sexuality is written in The Bible. Apparently they have never read it, or choose to ignore those parts.

It amazes me that some want the Church to change its position on homosexuality -- which would require a major edit of The Bible. To me, it means that these people believe The Word of God is not the ultimate authority on morality. If this is the case, then why are they even attending church?

They desire the perversion of society, are the work of Satan himself, and either knowingly or unknowingly act as his minions.

I read right over the "she". Thank You for pointing that out!

Humanae Vitae(mins), now with B16.

To these demented people the Bible, like the Consitution is a set of sugessions only.

" I think God would want me to be proud of who she created me to be."

She?? ..... SHE ???? We quit our church two years ago when the new female preacher introduced this garbage to the kid's Bible class.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

13For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

Trying to corrupt the church and God's Word is nothing new for satan.

[ For the past four years, supporters of the Rainbow Sash Alliance USA -- a group of Catholics who are active in the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community -- have worn the sashes to receive communion at the St. Paul Cathedral on Pentecost Sunday, the anniversary date of the group's founding in 1998. ]

What if they wear the Sash underneath their other clothing.?.

[Casaubon]

wearing the sash under clothes defeats the purpose.

they want acceptance of their sins by the church.

as for teds aquamarine sash...maybe we could get a lovely oldsmobile pin to match...It would look so nice. :)

Personal sin, well is personal. If you want to take Communion unworthily, then as St. Paul says, you eat and drink your own condemnation.

The issue is saying publicly, "I am a homosexual, and I am unrepentant of it, I want to be recognized as a Catholic in full communion". Using Mass to make a spectacle of yourself is not permitted.

Supposing under my clothes I wore a shirt with the F-bomb written on it, would you know any different?

[fatima]

And so did they?
