Asked a question about what is in store in the Church for “transgender” or “other individuals that are not formally considered within the ethical frameworks that are currently in place” in the Catholic Church, Marx responded, “I think the main point in the Gospel is not the ethical point.”

What people like Marx do is distort the entire orthodox position. Nobody has ever said that everything that persons with homosexual tendencies (I refuse to call them “gay,” because that gives the lobby what it wants is wrong. Simply that active homosexuality is wrong. The Church has always loved the sinner and hated the sin...until now, where we apparently want to give sinners a special definition of themselves that transcends even Mosaic Law and the Gospels.

So when the Bishops, Cardinals and Pope teach things that are directly in contradiction to scripture, who does a Catholic listen to?

And is the Church and/or Pope still infallible?

Sola Ecclesia or Sola Scriptura?

It is too bad to see the Catholic Church I grew up in become a parody of itself.

One of Pope Francis’ closest advisors, and the leader of one of the most “liberal” Catholic hierarchies in the world, has denounced “traditional” young people for wanting “to be clear in their positions,” warning that it is a path to “terrorism.” In a related interview with the Jesuit magazine America, Cardinal Reinhard Marx, the head of the German Bishops’ conference, applauded people in homosexual partnerships who want a “lifelong” relationship.

So the Catholic Church is now on the “whatever makes you feel good and let’s all just get along” religion bandwagon. Hey. All that matters is that you love everyone. Two men want to get married? A man wants to turn into a woman? Someone denies the divinity of Jesus Christ? Who cares? As long as they are nice and you are nice to them, we can all go to Heaven!

The Roman Catholic Church is going gay at an alarming rate.

I expect further attacks on orthodox Christians to follow on FR.

Pauls letter to the Romans probably wasn’t been read in catholic church for decades, if at all.

The Catholic Church is not based on the contemporary beliefs held by certain personages. The Church is based on Christ’s teachings as handed on by Sacred Scripture and the Sacred Tradition that has been developed, expounded and handed on over the centuries. There always was and always will be the Judas Iscariots but through the power of the Holy Spirit the Church continues to love and guide in spite of ourselves.

Just one more POS Catholic Cardinal. To quote the late Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen:

“WHO IS GOING TO SAVE OUR CHURCH? NOT OUR BISHOPS, NOT OUR PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS. IT IS UP TO THE PEOPLE. YOU HAVE THE MINDS, THE EYES, THE EARS TO SAVE THE CHURCH. YOUR MISSION IS TO SEE THAT YOUR PRIESTS ACT LIKE PRIESTS, YOUR BISHOPS, LIKE BISHOPS, AND YOUR RELIGIOUS ACT LIKE RELIGIOUS.”

Strawman.

I have never heard ANYONE say “Everything you do, because you are a homosexual, is negative.”

Not once. And I know a lot of conservative Catholics.

“The atmosphere of reducing the complexity of the world, to give simple answers, to give black and white answers, is growing, and I think that is very dangerous,” the cardinal said.

Modernists love the gray. Pre-Vatican II Church was not gray. Post Vatican II church is gray and getting more and more gray.

Is the Pope Catholic?

I'm beginning to wonder about this one.

At least he didn't call them "snake-handlers" or "brain-dead bibliolators."

Or "Billy Bob's Glory Barn."
