What if the church [Roman Catholic] just covers up the problem?

A new Vatican as well. Pope says there is no hell? So Hitler is in heaven with Mother Theresa? Hillary will be in heaven with my grandma who devoted her life to the homeless? Mel Gibsons father Hutton was right about Vatican II.

Another reason for the globalists & NeoCon (social libs) to hate Russia, as if they needed more.

Absolutely.

But if a Romans 1:18-32 process is already so far underway that homosexuals aren’t just in the door but are basically setting doctrine is it really likely that someone will bolt?

Remember, human beings aren’t like proverbial frogs in frying pans. Frogs are incapable of adjusting their expectations to their environment. They jump out. Humans, on the other hand, can make excuses, make up reasons why the added heat isn’t a bad thing. People can accommodate the bad so long as the bad sets in slow enough that they can convince themselves they’re still comfortable.

In short: humans can compromise themselves to death, and the on ramps to the broad way that leads to destruction can be so subtle that folks can likely compromise their way into even a depraved heart with scarcely a whimper of realization.

Someone who is aware that a battle has been joined can resist the demands to compromise. If they can win over others the congregation can survive but if instead the invaders win converts then it seems more likely that those still fighting against the arrogation of doctrine will be forced out and shunned well before they might decide to leave.

I’ve seen this as I’ve encountered people online that are now blunt in their belief that sound doctrine is loathsome. Even something illegitimate for civilized people to hold to.

There is, you see, a likely corollary to Roman 1:18-32 and it is this: that those who approve of these things Scripture speaks of will inherently disapprove of those who don’t agree with them. That depraved people will actively hate not just righteous folks but anyone who resist their depravity. Of course they may be able to hide it if they are talented deceivers.

the position of the Russian church on homosexuality is unwaveringly traditional

Fixed.

Churches can’t take moral stands,
If the did they’d lose too many homosexuals donations,
Can’t do that now can we?
