I don’t understand the insult you are trying to impart. If you are saying that homosexuals are being ordained in the Church I would sadly have to agree with you. However the Catholic Church condemns sodomy where as some churches today promote it.
So, do you approve of sodomite marriage, is it promoted in your church or considered sinful? How about abortion? Birth control?
if by condemning sodomy, you mean free sodomy, i would agree
but when there’s a cost to it, the catholic church and some professed catholics on this forum have seemingly chosen denial, delay and lawyering up
(the delay and lawyering up are institutional not a reference to members of this forum)
i don’t live far from the diocese of wilmington
not sure there’s ever been official condemnation from the church
my church- like the catholic church has conflicted positions, conflicted members and conflicted associations
but i don’t know of anyone being arrested for being pro-life on one of our affiliated campuses as happened at notre dame a few years back
homosexual marriage is another issue- officially my church is opposed, but practically it is divided as i feel certain you’d find among catholic congregants as well
i live in a relatively conservative part of the country, so the local views tend to reflect that- but we make no pretense that all our members, all our churches, all our clergy, all our universities march in lock step
when we look over the horizon of those associated with our church, we tend to see flawed humans who are fallible and who sin; who need grace and who should show grace; we do not see ourselves as one cookie cutter voting bloc on any issue
we take positions as a church
as a local body
as individuals
those positions are not always the same
this, i believe happens in your church as well
for crying out loud, most catholics on this group don’t agree with much of what the current pope says
we wrestle with weaknesses
we condemn sexual abuse in all forms
and all the more when in comes from a person in authority
we are imperfect
so imperfect that i may need to walk away from the organization in the future
birth control is not a subject you’ll find many protestant churches take a stand on- so it’s odd you would bring it up- you might as well ask me our position on the real presence or purgatory
Candidates for the semibary are asked if they have strong homosexual tendencies. If they answer yes they are not accepted into the seminary. Sadly some lie. They are the ones that eventually get into trouble when they can’t keep their hands off young boys. A homosexual priest is no different than a homosexual policeman or school teacher. Most can’t control their sexual urges. That is a fact.
