I am no Catholic...but I know enough of them to know that American Catholics are much more Liberal than the Holy Church's official position. Most of the Supreme Court is Catholic--allegedly.

This Methodist suspects that renegade priests will soon be performing same-sex marriages in Catholic parishes. We will see what this Pope does about it.

I am dreading next year's UMC General Conference. The crack-up that one pastor predicted to me 16 years ago may finally happen.

Marriage is sacred in the catholic church.
It is the line in the sand they can’t cross. If they cross it, the church is done. Gay sex is a defect of nature and behavior. Once a church starts to celebrate defective activity as a sacred activity, it is done. The church is about truth. It can’t survive such a fundamental hypocrisy. Such a lie.

I’m catholic. I had to tell my nine year old daughter that our government is run by lunatics or worse, and why.

They can't, the Catholic church considers Matrimony a Sacrament and there are certain qualifications to receive every sacrament and 2 persons of the same sex are not qualified to receive the Sacrament of Matrimony.....a female is not qualified to receive the Sacrament of Holy orders, a non-baptized person is not qualified to receive most Sacraments......it just doesn't work.
