Its about affirming or endorsing the practice of homosexuality...God will forgive all.(except disbelief)..but you cannot say that any sin is OK to practice.
Committ a sin...regrettable and forgivable..say it’s ok to practice that sin and practice that sin? ...sinful and excommunicable.
“So the problem here is not “Catholic-ISM” “openly embracing” homosexuality”
The problem is that the Vatican has been rife with overt homosexuality during multiple popes.
There are reports of a Vatican homosexual mafia.
There are public newspaper stories of drug-fueled homosexual parties in Vatican City.
THAT is the message of Rome.
It shouts more loudly than your claims of the “official” teaching.
It is sad.
Turns my stomach every time I go past a church that has a rainbow flag and a Black Lives Matter banner.
And there are far too many of far too many denominations.
You are correct and I feel the same... but I realize these are churches in name only and are largely playing church and are dead.
Just zombie churches.
However, it is not right to judge the Catholic Faith by those who have rejected its teachings; any more than it would be right to judge the Baptist Faith by those who have rejected Baptist teachings.
It has always been the practice of the opponents of Christ to to equate Christianity with its most repellent hypocrites.
I only evaluate the Roman faith by what it teaches and what actions it chooses, in comparison to what God says in the Scriptures.
And I give you (and anyone else), I hope, the same just judgment.
Pew that’s a stinking bunch of suckers...
