Your statement regarding the Reformation:

..."That's where we ended up getting the huge number of queer-affirming protestant denominations we have today which openly support and celebrate perverted homosexual activities and unions"....

You might want to consider.....

... Catholic Priest Father Phillip Lichtenwalter... ordained priest in the American National Catholic Church...."I went to the seminary to study for the priesthood. And I'm a gay priest."

Catholic Priest Father Rich Danyluk giving Mass at St. Joseph Basilica in Alameda, Danyluk is an openly gay priest in the Bay Area.

..And of course recently Polish Catholic priest Krzysztof Charamsa coming out and declaring that he was gay on the eve of a major meeting of church leaders to discuss homosexuality...

What your post is completely missing there, caww, is that those priests you put forward are going directly against the formal teachings and doctrines of the Catholic Church.   The Catholic Church teaches that homosexual activities and behaviors are serious, mortal sins, and that they should never be engaged in.

Those protestant denominations I mentioned to you in my post #15 (and many other protestant denominations which you can find if you simply do that Google search I also placed into my post #15) actually teach that those perverted, queer activities and behaviors are NOT sins.   (Look those protestant denominations and their teachings up to confirm that fact in your own mind.)

That is the difference.

An early follower of Jesus Christ, Judas Iscariot, turned away from Jesus Christ, and started engaging in activities and behaviors which went directly against the teachings of Jesus Christ.   Would you then foolishly say that Jesus Christ and His teachings were wrong, or would you be honest enough to say the truth, that Jesus Christ and His teachings were right, and it was Judas Iscariot and his wicked, sinful activities and behaviors which went against the teachings of Jesus Christ which were actually what was wrong there?

By the way, caww, an honest look at the three "priests" you featured in your post, reveals the following:

  1. Father Phillip Lichtenwalter is in the "American National Catholic Church", which is in no way affiliated with the real Catholic Church.  (That would be like you making the "caw catholic church", and saying you were going to change catholic teachings.   Ridiculous.)

  2. Father Rich Danyluk was booted out of his priestly assignments in 2007.

  3. Father Krzysztof Charamsa was fired from his Vatican job, and removed from all his priestly assignments.
Honesty is always the best policy.
