Are we entirely sure that the Vatican isnt just an Italian gay bath house with designer robes?

Did G-d make those who use too many fossil fuels and greedy people who they are?

The Episcopal Church in America has completely embraced PFLAG. Does that make me an honorary Catholic?

"Martin has been quick to denounce White Supremacists for the violence that took place last week in Charlottesville, Virginia"

Is that the new litmus test for being right? So basically, this guy is misguided on everything he believes, yet the church leaves him in a leadership position.

I didn’t leave the Catholic Church; the Catholic Church left me.

Anybody else looking at SSPX?

EVEN IF (for the sake of discussion) we accept that “G-d made homosexuals the way they are,” that does nothing to change the fact that G-d wants them to “grow up,”that is: take responsibility for living moral lives as set forth in the Bible very clearly, several times over.
We are all “made” with certain abilities and certain weaknesses....and He expects us to employ our strengths for good ends...and He expects us to resist, overcome our weaknesses as best possible, too.
The whole argument that “homos are born that way” is a diversion. The point is that He wants ALL of us, EACH of us, to read and follow His teachings for our lives here on this earth. For some of us, we have to overcome urges to be violent. For some of us, we have to overcome urges to steal. For some of us, we have to overcome urges to perform homosexual acts. For some of us, we have to overcome urges to lie. For some of us, we have to overcome physical disabilities or poor health. All difficult. All things we have to work on. All things we can make progress with....if we “grow up” and work on what we need to do.

Soon, very soon in my lifetime the Catholic Church will come out of the closet and support homosexual marrage, pedophilia and communism.

If we go down the road of ‘God made them that way’, then we open up the idea that God does make some vessels for destruction.

I’m not Catholic but I’ll chime in on this. The Lord Himself told us this sort of thing was coming. All we can do is hang tough and behave as He would want us to.

God made everyone. He made gays. He made straights. He made adulterers. He made rapists. He made porn addicts. He made pedophiles.

He also told us which sexual sins to resist.

But God does not “make you” want to commit sexual sin. That is Natural Man.

One would think that someone in the Vatican would own a bible.

“For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.”

Great. Murderers can also claim that they couldn’t help themselves, because God made them that way.

This whole argument is beyod preposterous.
